I am struck by recent threads that referenced The Bulletproof Tiger and Clever Girl, both of which released 1 (or 2) albums and then broke up, with no hope of a follow up or tour.

Who else burned brightly and ever so briefly?

I might get eaten alive for this, but I must ask bc they’re far too complex/intricate to be labeled emo. The many layers made me feel like I was doing a math equation in my head, which made me realize that I think this is more “math rock” than anything. Some of their stuff even reminds me of Slint.. Like a harsher version of Slint. Can anyone provide feedback? Thanks!!

LFAMTQ is a split record between two northeast US rock groups that draw on less common influences, pushing boundaries between fusion and rock as well as the conventions of those genres. Talento’s group releases fusion that has a clear alternative rock influence, while LFA releases post, math, and emo rock with a jazz influence. 

In the artists' words:

As soon as someone hears a saxophone, they tend to put the music in the jazz bucket, but I wanted the music to challenge that.

The [LFA] tracks themselves were all written with the medium and it’s technical limitations in mind. Compositionally, it was an exercise in being concise... there’s many phrases that end a little earlier than you might expect, which makes a really distinct and unique feel and sound.

Hello everyone! Not really sure if this post fits the subreddit but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what film or other piece of media the intro dialogue in Sink Potemken by 90 Day Men is sampled from (If it even is a sample). Much appreciated!
