Great instrumental math-rock album from the Chicago 3 piece Piglet. This is one of the bands that really got me into the genre. Unfortunately these guys disbanded after they released this album in 2005.
Here's a little description copied from the Last.fm page.
"A three-piece instrumental band from Chicago, Piglet craft manic and hyperbolic orchestrated jams that the discerning listener would expect from such a storied city. Having cut their teeth in the clubs and bars of their native lakeside city, the trio capitalizes on the power afforded by Chicago’s monsters of rock and infuses it into their unique song writing approach, resulting in a style of music that they can sincerely call their own. With two members of Seyarse you know these kids are no strangers to complicated, mind-bending song structures.
Lava Land encompasses six tracks of organic, loop free, instrumental indie rock that promises not to disappoint. The opening track, “Bug Stomp” pushes the listener right off the edge and into the deep end, drowning them under lightning fast guitar and bass work and a heavy rhythm section. Later, tracks like “Caramel” and “Pangea Reunion” display the band’s versatility, touching on minor progressions and weaving in and out of genres.
Piglet ices the cake for lovers of the Heavy Rock, Prog, Metal and Math genres. For fans of Pele, Volta Do Mar, Don Caballero and likeminded purveyors of prowess."
