Math rock band SKULK submitted their newest album “Infinities of Perplexion” for peer review before releasing it to the public, sources report.
“It’s standard practice in our field to do this after wrapping up production,” said drummer Larry Kremer. “Peer review is absolutely necessary in math rock to ensure each work meets the standards of the genre and contributes to advanced knowledge for society on the whole. Can you imagine a world in which math rock bands could just unleash whatever crackpot pieces of music they want without them undergoing a rigorous review process? It would be chaos, and not in an enlightening, non-linear dynamical systems sense. Thankfully, we have institutions in place to ensure every album has been studied by experts before reaching the ears of consumers.”
Dave Hernandez, drummer for the band Integrals, peer reviewed SKULK’s new album before it was released. […]
Fans were divided about the album at first but when they began to multiply feelings changed quick.
Minus a couple of outliers, it really adds a lot to the genre
One of the more controversial events was the substitution of the drummer, who many said was integral to the band’s primary sound.
Concert attendance is growing exponentially, with the number of attendees projected to be greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe sometime in late October.
Wake me up after September ends.
I almost ate the onion here. I thought it’s the band who wrote the paper they submitted for peer review—and which they put into practice via their music.
Something like a polyrhythmic approximations to Pi where the music’s time signature started off as 3/1, then 22/7, and then 333/106 etc.
IDK, I’m neither a music nor a maths guy.
EDIT:
A word.
TIL: math rock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_rock
Wait until you delve into mathcore. Some real awesome acts in there
This Town Needs Guns is some good shit.
Ooh yes, I always recommend American football to start with. They’re so pleasant to listen to. Sadly, the project is done with and I just can’t find any other vand which scratches the same itch
Reminds me of Baba Brinkman, who got his lyrics peer-reviewed for some of his albums (and modified them accordingly, when corrected).
“They Might Be Giants” will be the peer reviewers
