^^I hear ya on MuteMath. Their remastered/re-released S/T album with the Live EP sounds even better. Saw them a few weeks ago for the 3rd time..and again they blew me away. MM are a can't miss live act.
here's some of the stuff I've gotten into recently:
Zero Hour - SPECS OF PICTURES BURNT BEYOND..I am really digging their new, fresh approach with Chris Salinas, formerly of Power Of Omens, on vocals. And esp a lot of the classic Zero Hour intricate layers and syncopation exists. My only issue thus far is the record is a bit short..leaving you wanting more, but that is a a product of how good this album is.
Brazil - THE PHILOSOPHY OF VELOCITY..I just discovered this band who may be most similar to Coheed And Cambria or The Receiving End Of Sirens. Catchy melodies, lots of piano. I am liking their previous album a bit more for consistency, but their are still some nice moments on here.
Amplifier - INSIDER..like Brazil, a new band to me. British indie-prog metal you could say. Their S/T debut I think I like more, but from the couple of times I've heard this, their were still a lot of heavy/wall-of-sound..electro-metal moments that i enjoy a lot from their debut record.
The Decemberists - THE CRANE WIFE...this band I have meant to check out for a few months and finally this weekend heard some by them and really dug a lot of it. They are like a modern folky-prog Jethro Tull or Fairport Convention. Lots of layers of acoustic and minimalistic vocals. I have a feeling this could be a grower.
House Of Fools - S/T EP..very excited to finally hear their debut EP. These guys are a really fun band, elements that remind me of Jellyfish.
