I'm going to blame it on me "growing up" but I've (un)fortunately haven't been caught up to popular music for the past few years. I live in Toronto and have been turning on 102.1 The Edge lately but have been hearing music that doesn't sound very edgy anymore. I am hearing songs by these bands: Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters And Men, Lorde, Bastille, Fitz and The Tantrums, The Neighbourhood, Young The Giant, Vampire Weekend, Grouplove, Twenty One Pilots, CHVRCHES, Broken Bells, AWOLNATION, New Politics, Portugal The Man, Phantogram, NONONO, July Talk, Wildlife, MS MR, Dear Rouge, etc...and to me

listening to the two new songs featured on his site. In A Place Of Lesser Men was meh to me. It's been done before. Non Populus is a much better track. It's solid. Very solid. Matthew Good is capable of delivering solid tracks one after another, album after album. He has no problem doing that whatsoever. I just feel he doesn't take enough risks with his sound--he keeps it safe and doesn't steer away from what he's comfortable at.

Does Anyone Think This Song Sounds Like Tripoli?

I would say that math rock built the foundations of what post rock has evolved into right now. My attempt at explaining math rock would be "technical indie rock". It's very guitar-based and the song structures aren't very conventional and tend to go everywhere. Some earlier math rock bands have a lo-fi sound to them with off-tune vocals such as Polvo and Chavez. My three favourite math rock bands however would be Slint, June of 44 and Don Caballero. All three of them possess a darker/experimental sound that arguably paved the way for bands like Mogwai and Sigur Ros. Slint's 1991 album Spiderla -
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgzBDJrMwsM Bear in mind, it's an instrumental song by the now defunct group Polvo. The beginning notes have a striking resemblance to me. This album was released in 1993. Opinions?
