For those who don't like to read: Holy tits this is fighting for album of the year.
Low-Pass is:
So, Low-Pass. I'm having trouble thinking of a way to start this post off, so I'm just going to jump right into it:
HOLY FUCKING SHIT TRIMURTI IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD GUYS. Low-Pass play good ol' math-rock styled music. And now (and forever) when I think of math-rock, these guys will be the first band to come to mind. When I first tried getting into math-rock, I was seriously disappointed with what I was hearing (I ain't talkin about 90s indie/math-rock here). There just wasn't a lot of great song writing, and was a lot more "HEY GUYS, LOOK AT ME HIT MY INSTRUMENT WITH THESE COOL PEDALS MY MOM BOUGHT ME." Besides the Tera Melos/By the End of Tonight Split, most math-rock I heard just really sucks; learn to write an actual song.
And with that, Low-Pass basically shits on every band with incredible musicianship and awesome song writing ability.
I wish I could put it into words easily how great this band is, but every single member deserves a shout out for what they do. I don't really play guitar or drums at all, so even though I know that the two people who play them are without a doubt some incredible musicians, but I feel the need to comment on the bass player. Holy shit, this dude makes me feel worthless as a bass player. I guess I now have a life goal to learn this entire album on bass, although I'll probably never be that good because holy shit these dudes know how to fucking play.
If somehow, you listen to this album, and you aren't completely sold by the 2nd track, you probably just hate music as a whole.
Low-Pass - "Nitro" live
They always kind of reminded me of Toe. No?
ReplyDeletei feel like there is too much going with low-pass to be compared to toe. toe is a lot more, uh, minimalistic?
