7. Mononoke
math rock/post-rock/instrumental indie http://youtu.be/KE54KrIrkUw In the band's own words, they can be 'characterised primarily by the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each behaviour occurring infrequently alone'. I mean I don't think I need to say anything on the subject of this band that that statement right there. Well, maybe I do, that is kind of my 'job', but in a roundabout way it kind of does describe their sound quite aptly. An instrumental three piece from York who compose songs that really do sound like the product of hyperactivity and mutual problems with maintaining their own attention; it's math rock, Jim but not as we know it. Prone to jaunt its way through angularly jangly riffs, jangular if you will, or float on intricate but calm melodic passages, or bouts of fuzz and noise to rival post-rock, and that's just the opening few bars.
