I thought it was quite good. If one accepts that perhaps they want to incorperate more subtelty to their sound and not just be all tapping. After seeing them live on friday I must say that their new songs are catchy as well as virtuistic.
 
Yes, this is a new direction in math rock, but it had to be explored. I feel that this new sound of theirs is perhaps (unintentionally) closer to the classic strains of prog, in both spirit and sound than anything Don Cab or Battles has recorded. (just to mention a couple big names)
i would say that they abandon the math rock with this release, not completely, but anyway i wouldn't call it math rock anymore, maybe more indie like something.

I would not call battles math rock in the strictest sence ither however, nor the new 65dos release. However I think this is good. It keeps the genre from falling prey to "post-rock syndrome" in which 90% of new bands sound like one or two older bands. Math-rock has not even come close to becoming as stale.

This excellent French band just debuted with their first track published on a magazine compilation: http://www.myspace.com/naustnaust

I think we're going to hear good stuff from them in the future.

Wasn't there supposed to be new Cult of Luna coming out this year?

Or was that the material they made for the Evika Riget audiobook?

hey post-y dudes, particularly those who enjoy drone or noisy stuff, What are your thoughts on Glen Branca? I only had his album "Acension" for the longest time and while it is borderline post (think the droney parts of _on limpid form) his other stuff is killer and more ... i dont know, posty. Check out his Symphonies.

godfather of post rock? perhaps?
 
PS why isnt he in the archives? honestly.

Branca is one of my favorite composers!!!! I think he is usually linked more to minimalism and no-wave than post rock, but the similarity is obvious. As far as being in the archives i dont know where he would fit, possibly avant. He is more of a composer than a rock guy but so is alot of Zorn.

I don't know him and by your description it would be difficult to get him in; other similar composers were suggested but to no avail. I'll try to check him out, though.

I you have heard some A Silver M.Zion before you should try Collapse Tradixionales (more in the Horses In The Sky kind than the 13 blues style...)
