Tera Melos- Self-titled.



EDIT: well excluding melody 8, but nobody really listens to it.

Yes, yes, yes and yes.

I also dig Don Caballero - Don Caballero II and The Ladies - They Mean Us.

That album is so-so for me, but I dig Other Men's Wake Up Swimming which also features Rob Crow but not Zach Hill, and sounds like a faster and more math version of Pinback. That spells win.

I wouldn't say it's great the whole way through but it has enough cool songs to merit mention. Empathy on a Stick is an absolutely killer song.

I'm also a big fan of Marnie Stern's albums.

Battles- Mirrored (Fun, catchy futuristic math rock)
Don Caballero- What Burns Never Returns (Much better than For Respect imo)
Slint- Spiderland (More thrown into the post-rock umbrella, but still a math rock record to me)
65daysofstatic- The Fall of Math (see above)
Minus The Bear- Highly Refined Pirates
Giraffes? Giraffes!- More Skin With Milk-Mouth
Maps and Atlases- Trees, Swallows, Houses
(both the last two were previously mentioned, but extremely fun records)
