MATH ROCK IS AMAZING.

(It's kind of like prog rock meets post rock but with a really strong focus on the rhythmic structure of the music itself.)

@Paperclippe
HUH. What is a band?

@PlanetaryKnight So my favorite math rock bands are 65daysofstatic (who actually did the music for No Man's Sky) and Do Make Say Think (and if you're going to listen to an album of theirs I recommend Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn).

Now, as with all music, some people don't consider these bands PURE MATH ROCK +insert pedantic flailing+ but it's pretty mathy to me.

@Paperclippe
Awesome! Will check it out on my lunch in a few, thank you!

Lmao....... THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME RECS ON YOUR POST REQUESTING RECS.

My dark a spoopy music is always new age type shit.

@PlanetaryKnight LOL It's all good! I'm already familiar with so many bands in what's really such a small and blurry genre (that sounds really arrogant but the wiki page for mathrock is like less than a thousand words long) that it's hard to even find new stuff at this point - BUT I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO RECOMMEND BECAUSE IT'S SUCH COOL AND DIFFERENT MUSIC. Lemme know what you think of Do Make Say Think. I saw them in a tiny room in the upstairs of a bar once and it was so loud and beautiful I felt it in my lungs and I just cried for hours (in a good way).

@Paperclippe So I ended up YouTube-ing it and am now stuck on Stubborn Persistent Illusions first and I LOVE it.

@PlanetaryKnight yaaaaaasssss

@balrogboogie That's so awesome! Thank you so much! :D

@balrogboogie And also: I do like loud music, very much. Just not while writing. So in the future, consider me already sold!

@Paperclippe you should check out his whole catalog then, there pretty much isn't a bad record there. BEACONS is my favorite of his albums, though SUBSUME and LITTLE HISTORIES are close behind

@balrogboogie Oh my gosh, so rad. Thank you so much. I need some good new tunes to throw in the mix.

@balrogboogie Okay just popping back in to say quickly that this is quiet and beautiful and perfect. So good. Thank you again! :D

@Paperclippe so glad you like it!

I have an instrumental/post-rock/ambient pandora station that i've used for quite a few years now while I'm programming, if you want to check it out for ideas too:
