Careening through explosions, intricacies and unpredictable twists and turns, California's Nap Attack create their own instrumental brand of "un-rock". The trio, featuring a lead bassist and rhythm guitarist create a braided path of pummelling staccato and melodic passages. Complex and interesting guitar and bass work complements the erratic and precise drums, often experimenting with peculiar tempos and phase shift ideas earlier explored by avant-garde composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich. So take some caffeine pills and fall off the tire swing! This is rock that finds unexpected ways to be beautiful.

  • amazing music
    author: bistromath

    I'd give it more stars if I could ... much of the music I buy leaves my "permanent" rotation pretty quickly -- not these guys. I've listened to the songs on this CD nearly every day for the last few months, and I have yet to tire of them. Amazingly creative stuff ... you won't be disappointed.

  • the original definition of math rock - great musicianship within a melodic indie

    Math rock has gotten a bad name, because many of the bands under that umbrella are self-indulgent or challenging to listen to. Nap Attack are neither. They're the original definition of math rock - great musicianship and jazz improvisation within a melodic indie context. Their songs - and they are songs - have lulling, pleasant harmonies, even if the time signatures look like difficult math equations. Definitely check out if you're into talented, instrumental indie similar to some of the Polyvinyl bands.

  • superb instrumental music in the math rock vein

    I used to love those damn “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. Of course I’d skip to the end and try to work my way backwards through them but that was because I didn’t have any friends. But Nap Attack is sure to make plenty of new friends and fans with this short five-song EP of what they dub as “un-rock”. The tempo is ever-changing and shifting that would make renowned composer Philip Glass blush. This is superb instrumental music in a math rock type of vein—the riff on “If It Doesn’t Feel Good Then Don’t Do It” will have you grooving along and making up your own lyrics. They’ve come yards closer to perfection after their demo. Monosyllabic Records has a great band on its hands. Math rock will never be the same.
