craving math rock & finnish psych electro what?
i'm not sure.

my latest music obsession, which is on the verge of being replaced with MGMT, is two things:

Shogun Kunitoki. apparently, Finland is like a haven for weird electro music. as well as cute soft girl vocals over mellow pop keyboards (i guess kind of like Chromatics). this stuff is amazing. i just totally lost when i'm listening to this album. Tasankokaiku is not only pretty like lullabies, it totally gets me pumped up with heavy synth lines and (at times) and abrasive mirage of electronic sounds. layers and layers. no vocals, ever!

montezuma - shogun kunitoki
tulevaisuus-menneisyys=1 - shogun kunitoki
1918-1926 - shogun kunitoki


Collections Of Colonies Of Bees (yes, that's the band name) is a mixture of math rock's guitar technicality, pop's light bursts of fun, post-rock's gloomy ambient feel, and some weird glitchy/electro sounds. it builds and flutters as the songs advance. only 4 tracks long, each song is at least 7-10 minutes, which allows for each to have many different style changes throughout. the album is called Birds, and the tracks are named accordingly.
