Hella have some quite interesting structures, even pop like structures in some of their songs :/

No ones recommended Polvo :/

Although some are not necessarily 'Math' Still worth checking out

Are English Math Rock bands pretty much non existent?


I like a lot of those bands. As far as the English Math Rock thing goes. You should check out this band called "Giddy Motors" Pretty interesting guys.

Maybe someone can help me.

A couple of years ago, while ordering Hold Your Horse Is from the Frenetic website I stumbled onto a review of another mathy band called Mechakucha. The review described their sound something along the lines of little electrical storms inside your headphones. I was intrigued and I ordered the record on a whim. I was not disappointed.

Since then I have been finding it difficult to learn anything about this band. Do they have a new release I could purchase? Do they even still play? All mysteries that google cannot solve for me.

Any information would be appreciated.

Man, that "Killing Time," that's a great record right there. Splintered, spastic, swinging. There are enough ideas on that thing to last a career. Was that a one-off 'project' or did they record something else?


They recorded some other stuff, but 'Killing Time' is by far the best. In my opinion.
