Upsilon Acrux's "Galapagos Momentum"

Photobucket


Under-rated instrumental math rock goodness from California. This album is superb. If you like math rock then you are going to enjoy this. It is currently (and easily) my favorite of theirs, although their 2009 album, Radian Futura, is also really good.

At times this album has reminded me of Colditz Glider, Don Caballero, Sleeping People, and The Advantage. (Some parts sound nintendo-y which is usually a huge plus, for me at least.) There is even a part on track 3 that is Toe/Rooftops/Pretend-y. (:

Tracks 3, 6, and 8 are my favorites.
Listen first here. (Click album art^ to download.)

Here is a video of their first track off of Radian Futura.
(Keep in mind, from Galapagos Momentum (2007) to Radian Futura (2009) Upsilon only kept one member the same. Paul Lai on guitar.)
