Reminds me of Q and Not U kind of.
I like it so far. Not as much as Andrew Bird, though
The most underrated band on Discord Records. Intricate, rhythmic songwriting and extremely accessible. People love to label it "math-rock" but fuck that faggot shit, it's just good.Originally Posted by Moodswings Music

Three listens and I really like this.
I think my favorite song is the title track, it's got my favorite drumming. What is everyone's favorite? Oh wait, none of you fuckers seems to be listening to this.
Q IS another dischord label band...
I'm listening.
I also listened to this last night.
It's way outside my normal listening habits, but I really enjoyed it. There's just so much going on. They tend to ride this really fine line between too-fiddly and still-accessible-to-a-noob, which is something I find other mathy bands struggle with, personally. I'm generally very impatient with music - if it doesn't engage me in some way almost immediately, I'll pass.
I'll definitely be playing this out a few more times before I make my mind up, but so far I really like it.
ABOUT ME.
"Underground music should have its back turned, it needs to be gone, untrackable, unreadable"
I was sold at Discord, but this is sweetness!

And before Josh comes in here and rails on me for DEP, Faraquet does not have to scream to impress.
EDIT: and DEP was a bad comparison. Reminds me more of At The Drive In. I liked At The Drive In.

Yeah it's good. I thought I said that already. But it is.
One day I need to go through the entire Dischord catalog
This is a really good record. If you dig them, try out the Medications. It's two of the three guys in Faraquet, with a bit more pop in the songwriting, but loses none of the intricacy.
