Today’s Active Lifestyles

Beautiful friction. Dissonant, detuned guitars clash and lock together over crooked rhythms, defining the golden era of 90s math rock.

April 19, 1993 · Merge Records

A nervous, highly inventive collision of slacker nonchalance and complex, detuned guitar geometry.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, jarring transition in Thermal Treasure where the guitars detune into a seasick, sliding riff.

The sprawling, feedback-drenched midsection of Stinger (Five Wigs) that stretches the band's tension to its absolute limit.

The opening seconds of Tilebreaker where the interlocking guitar lines sound like two separate songs colliding beautifully.
