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.   

 

 

John Wesley Harding’s " New Deal"

2012/Yep Roc .

Why do you take pleasure in other people's failure.

Old 97's "Fight Songs" 

2007/RunOutGroove/#2850 

just noticed these are numbered by pressing the # into the back jacket.

I streamed Covet after your mention and liked what I heard. Also web searched and found Yvette Young is a self taught guitarist and fronts the band. The photo on the link shows her with the 7 string guitar, pretty cool! I can see getting blank stares at the mention of Math Rock…🤔
