These Rolo Tomassi kids must have been 15 when they made this charming package of progressive abstract Jazzcore Math rock..They're like a cross between Gentle Giant and Tool.
I say Tool,having never listened to one of their albums, and having just seen them live once so i'm imagining what other people say Tool sound like.
For want of better words, these kids must have had a granddad with a Prog and Jazz Fusion collection, and peers who dug slipknot and ...
ahem..Tool. While still at school.
It also helps that they have a sweet girlie screamer as a focus point, refreshingly free of tattoos and piercings, as are the rest of the group,from what i can gather......even today,as it seems that they are still going,but now in their thirties,and certainly rather too Metallic for my liking....but in the beginning...as always...they were nearly perfect.
Tracklist:
1 Codes Within Codes
2 From Ambience To Ambulance
3 Hiroshima 8.16am
4 A Cosmic Accident

Jonny, this is quite substantially amazing, thank you! I wouldn't compare this to Gentle Giant, this is more like if ECM's children made an album about what jerks their parents were, and had Michael Beinhorn produce it. Timeless lyric: "wearing this costume will not make you fly."
ECM's have children????
"progressive abstract Jazzcore Math rock.." That struck a note with me. Then I checked the comments and saw the ECM reference... Got to give this a listen. Many thanks!
