playing math rock and doing math are both things that are hard to do... it's mathy mondays!
Behold... The Arctopus - Canada
Behold... a bunch of very fractured riffs, bouncing off each other over a springy Chapman Stick bassline. Which is all well and good and weird and mathy, and surprisingly fun (though hazardous) to airdrum to. But if you're not in love, just get to like the 2:10 mark, because there shit gets magical. Out of pretty much nowhere, a serious taping riff takes us away, building up a bed of emerald, videogame skies until we're comfortable--and then back come those bouldery riffs, crashing down in percussive crests, followed by a digital-sounding guitar solo I wish was about 27 times as long, but digital like how Neo is digital; the sound of chiptune having sex with Eddie Van Halen. ...uhhh yeah and then back to riffs again; but honestly I'm mostly just in it for the nigh-godly middle part. This is the soundtrack to the most epic of bossfights.
