Acclaimed Los Angeles, CA Math-Rock DuostandardsReleases “Cherry” Third Single OffUpcoming LP ‘Fruit Town’ Out July 22 on Wax BodegaOn Tour July 21-August 24 w/ Glacier Veins As Direct Support |
“With a touch of the 80s, (“Cherry”) is a joyous outburst from the duo with vibrant synths, a masterclass in drumming and off the wall guitar playing. It’s an eclectic mixture of electronic elements and outrageous musical talent, as the band push themselves to create a level of complex musical brilliance. It’s my new addiction.”- Backseat Mafia ““Smile” sees standards tap into the poppier side of their progressive repertoire. Consistent with the rest of (their) output, it’s hooky as hell – and we’re always down for virtuosity you can dance to.”- Guitar World “Is Marcos Mena the best guitarist in indie rock?”- 48 Hills “Feel-good math rock guitar melodies atop rolling percussion with warped rhythmic tweaks. In other words, the best type of math rock.”- Fecking Bahamas “The sonic equivalent of a healthy and refreshing summer salad.”- Frontrunner Magazine |
