Titus Andronicus and Tera Melos seem like prime RIYL material.

Personally don't hear Titus, at all. Tera and Maps and Atlases are pretty good from the math rock perspective.

If you dug American Art, you'll probably love this.

American Art? I don't know how similar that one is either, but I guess taste wise they could be like-minded. Think I'm seein these dudes Friday though, can't waaait. This album is the beeeezneeeez.

Aesthetically similar. Hard to pin down for sure.

That's awesome though. They aren't coming through here I don't think.

I first listened to them because someone described them as something to the effect of Andrew W.K. gone indie.

Agreed

how anyone can compare this to fun. is beyond me

a little too much interest being placed into the RIYL, it's just a comparison that one person made, let's either talk about how great the album is or how stupid my intro paragraph is!

Album is fucking fantastic.

How many intros did you use before sticking with that one? Album is seriously beast though. Holy hell, they whipped it with a belt.

I like Major better than than self-titled, don't get me wrong it's still good but I felt it had some filler on it while this album has none. I like how they progressed but still kept their sound. No one I know really listens to them so I have to high five myself :(.

The 1-2 punch of "Sisterly" and "Seek It Out" is honestly one of the best combos I've heard in a while.

Haha surprised you said that.

Will be checking this out.
