Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw   Covet is fantastic. 3 virtuosos playing highly melodic math rock. Progressive rock with a certain tone using a lot of notes. One of my other favorite math rock artists is Plini, whom I’ve posted about many times here.

Covet’s guitarist is a Japanese American woman music professor who decided she wanted to record and tour instead. Extremely talented and beautiful melodic tunes. No vocal (a plus!).

unfortunately, the sq on the record is not very good. It it’s great music. Check it out.

Think everything is in house for the Audia Flight.

Covet, interesting sound James. I’d not heard the term Math Rock before.

yeah, I’m often met with blank stares or laughter when I use the term….

it’s a fairly recently evolved form of progressive rock

My favorite Math Rock bands are Plini (genius Eastern European fellow plays all the instruments on his records, incredible guitar player, influential, tip of the spear stuff) , Covet (discussed above), and Polyphia (two/twin? very fast but musical guitarists).   Check them out if you don’t know them.  They’ll keep you young.  

another absolutely awesome band that’s sometimes described as math rock but also as jazz rock is Volto.  They made, I think, one of the best instrumental albums of all time.
