I've always stated here that music is the only thing that holds my attention, my only outlet. I've been blogging for over three years now and still it captivates me. It's the joy of being able to scratch the surface of what most people would consider as new bands or shining lights, only to find layer upon layer of outstanding music underneath. I'm sorry to say that some people don't have that imagination.
Anyway, once again the musical call has brought me back to my laptop and back to here. I've got Animal Defence records to thank for this post. Last year, the label got in contact to tell me about some of their most recent releases. As is my random approach to reviewing, I'm only just getting around to reviewing this four-track EP by Noyo Mathis now.
For those who don't know, Noyo Mathis are another top addition to the South Coast's music scene and play music that is unclassifiable. It's got elements of noise, math-rock, indie and good old punk in it. Heck, they've even supported Minus The Bear during their time as a band, so it's a safe bet that you'll like em!
Tracklist:-
1. Heisenberg
2. Kato
3. Double Smoke
4. Ages
I’m a major sucker for bands with slick indie/screamo guitar licks and Noyo Mathis hit the spot straight away, with the initial bars of Heisenberg. The production of this EP the other things that strikes out at me as I listen, it’s clean but also manages to keep a live edge, especially in the echo in the vocals.
