I really love this band, they are my favourite math rock, their music is so complex and they just use the oddest time signatures. Ive only heard a few songs but my favourite is "Breaking Ribs For Tom Thayer". Discuss this band.

That song is incredible, their other stuff doesnt seem to have quite the same impact. Do you know anything about them at all? I'm clueless.

I downloaded a few songs, they're pretty cool, there's lots going on which I like it, they remind me of Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies a bit

I've got their split with Murder By Death, and it's good. I only know that (four songs) and one that I got from a Forced Listening called At The Speed of Light or Day.

I like them. Should probably looking into ordering something all of their own at some point.

I think its weird they did a split with murder by death, their styles arent really similar, bear in mind im only judging murder by death off that atticus compilation cd. i heard 7/100 is a good album (is that the album or a song?)

That's actually the only song I've heard from them, but it's very nice. I'd really like to check out some more. Recomendations?

At the Speed of Light or Day is one of my favourite records. I've been waiting so long for someone on here to pick up on them.

If you go on www.voltadomar.com, you can download quite a few songs. The best one there is Breaking Ribs For Tom Thayer.

Soft Machine, apparently. I wouldn't know though, they just seem to be mentioned in every VDM review I've read.

Theres a thread on the Alternative/Indie forum about math rock bands, so you might find something similar there.

http://www.epitonic.com/artists/voltadomar.htmlI thought I'd check these out because I just got into Murder by Death and they have that collab album thing. I downloaded this song, it's pretty amazing.

Atavin
Don Caballero (just less dissonant).

They're alright, but I grew out of them quickly.

I dont really find their other stuff as appealing as "Breaking Ribs For Tom Thayer". The closest song by them that gave me the same feel as this song is "Quiet Alley and Lonely Terrain"
