Details:
Bubblemath is a Minneapolis quintet with a simple mission statement: To be a Minneapolis quintet with a simple mission statement. So far, so good.
Bubblemath’s music bridges the gap between the technical precision and grand theatrics of progressive rock, and the quirky hook-driven appeal of alternative rock. Pissed off, hilarious, complicated, avant prog-pop jazzcore at its most pissed off, hilarious, and complicated.
This particular blend of styles has tapped the fervent hunger of the world’s progressive rock community. As a result, Bubblemath debuted to great national, as well as international, acclaim.
If you are a fan of complicated music-for-musicians type compositions and performances, you are a fan of Bubblemath.
To quote the collective consciousness of the band: "Musically, we are most strongly influenced by stuff we hate. Meaning that while we don''t all agree on what we like, we do tend to agree on what we don''t like. This shared passion for avoidance guides us away from particular aspects of composition that we''ve traditionally been disappointed in. Things like lyrical clichés, overused chord progressions, harmonic typicalities, etc. So we all tend to veto the same kinds of things, and that binds us together. Our songwriting sessions are filled with vetoes. Whatever''s left over gets to be the music of Bubblemath."
Bubblemath’s debut CD, Such Fine Particles of the Universe, earned them the 2002 Best Eclectic Recording Award from the Minnesota Music Academy.
Bubblemath are currently in the studio recording their second album. This long-fabled sophomore release will be available for mass purchase in early 2007.
