BRAND NEW SKINNY GHOST, MEET YOUR BRAND NEW ANGEL MONSTER

Somewhat of a strange and playful (some would call it amateurish but I enjoy it) math-rock band that has some indie pop influences. Nonetheless, this is fairly technical math-rock with some interesting sound bites thrown in and it ranges from lovely to strange very seamlessly in its thirty minutes. This is kind of what proto-Battles Battles would sound like, if that makes any sense, playful and technical but with just a hint of "this is my first time doing this" involved.

Don't get me wrong, this is a very interesting piece of work and it's free on bandcamp, so what could go wrong? It's a fun listen and while it's not one of those math-rock albums that makes you bow down in awe, it is one you'll come back to because it is very enjoyable.

I feel comfortable giving this three pretty solid stars. It's a good record to hear whether it blows your socks off or not. Some of my favorite albums are like this.
