Vandaag last.fm nog eens gechecked of ze me nog iets nieuws hadden te bieden in de “recommended”-section… En toen viel m’n oog op “You Slut!”, een math-rock band uit Derby/Nottingham (UK). Math-rock is een subgenre van post-rock & I quote wikipedia;

Math rock shares its place of origin in the late 80s underground music scene of the American Midwest. Some earlier bands have characteristics of both math rock and post-rock, using instruments for textures rather than melodies and riffs, featuring atypical rhythms and some dissonance. The genres soon diverged: math rock concentrated on angular melodies, atypical time signatures, start-stop rhythms, and dissonance, while staying closer to rock music in sound and instrumentation. Post-rock, on the other hand, concentrated on heavy use of dynamics, creating soundscapes, and expanded the variety of instruments used, used a jazzier drumming style, and incorporated elements of shoegaze music.

Doet me enorm hard denken aan LITE – maar daarover meer de volgende keer – for now – give it a try & enjoy these mathemagicians from Derby…
De cd dateert ondertussen al van 2008, maar de mannen zijn nog actief aan’t touren. Ik kan ze alvast pruimen!
