HEADLINE
Math Rock Albums Of The Month // March 2018
March has been a fantastic month for fresh tunes, with many exciting debuts and unexpected returns from hiatus; and we'd be absolutely buggered right-to-left trying to complete write-ups for every single album...
EXCLUSIVE // Stream ‘Snuff’, the new album by Lingua Nada
From time to time, we run into a band like Germany's Lingua Nada and we ask ourselves the following quasi-philosophical question: does a band start with chaos and shape it into coherency, or do they start with coherency and shape it into chaos?
Tangled Hair – We Do What We Can (2018)
The wait for a new Tangled Hair LP is finally over. No more binge watching their Milktime Productions sessions or playing their EP’s and Apples on repeat. They’ve returned with a carefully planned and brilliantly executed record that retains the familiarity of their sound while incorporating captivating nuances.

Welcome to the first episode of Room Temperature Suite, in which Chris and Santino explore math rock community...
EXCLUSIVE // Stream Straya’s wildly imaginative sophomore release ‘Sobereyed’
It's been a slow start to the year for us (maybe even for math in general?) so, naturally, we've been looking for a record to sweep us off our toes. Something to push our lethargic minds back into gear...
NEWS // BAD POND RELEASE FIRST WAVE OF BANDS (plus exclusive live footage of Delta Sleep)
or fans of math, and other forms of wierdo rock music, Brighton is increasingly becoming seen as a glimmering promised-land; not only is it home to a serious roster of ridiculously great acts but a thriving live-music scene. And, as 2018 rolls in, one of Brighton’s most formidable promoters, Small Pond, have released the first wave of bands set to play this year’s edition of the Bad Pond festival; a weekend’s celebration of incredible math/alternative music.
