Melodic math rock with an experimental/metal slant has been called "math rock worth putting in your calculator" by Punk Planet. Also know as 'brutal prog' or 'brutal shred prog'.

It seems that a majority of new instrumental/post-rock acts these days focus on epic length, dynamically swelling, reverb soaked melodic arrangements for a wide variety of instruments. Apparently San Francisco three piece We Be The Echo didn”t get the memo.Of the nine frantic songs on their debut long player Stanislaw Stories, none last longer then 4 minutes, yet each piece contains enough variety and energy to keep the listener busy. For just three members with a minimal amount of studio trickery, the individual talent and creativity of the musicians involved create a dense, melodic, and at times chaotic listening experience.

Definitely enrolled in the Don Caballero school of post-indie math core, We Be The Echo are a tight unit of Hella-esque time signature destructions, maniacal drum fills that would make any Lightning Bolt fan weep, and throw in a slice of Minus The Bear fueled guitar jangle for good measure. The band flawlessly travel through different styles of Chicago born math rock, tossing in the occasional beautifully melodic breaks (“Dry or Damp, I”m Still The Champ), and even a throw back, classic rock guitar shred (“Don”t Concentrate On The Finger...”).

This is an impressive debut for three obviously talented musicians. Channeling their virtuosity into a nice batch of high energy post-rock, We Be The Echo will be a band to watch for in this ever evolving scene.

habe bisher zwei alben von denen (Stanislaw Stories, all-star destroyers) die beide nicht sehr aggresiven, aber dennoch anspruchsvollen und meist schnellen instumentellen Mathrock enthalten, der auch mal kleine versatzstücke aus anderen genres einbaut, ohne dabei stilbruch/genre hopping zu betreiben, z.B. flameco elemente in dry or damp, i'm still the champ. sind insgesamt ein wenig chaotischer als LITE oder Giraffes? Giraffes! ... so eine art entspannte und instrumentale Hella vielleicht? na egal: 8,5/10
