Rectangle

Born of the same fertile heartland soil as The Poster Children, Hum and Braid, Rectangle create a distinctive melange of sideways smiling noise-pop melodies and confrontational post-rock angularity, likened in sound and spirit to cathartic pop-wrecks like the three Ps: Polvo, Pavement and The Pixies - heaviest on the Polvo. Their guitar wrangling and lyrical tangling takes the listener into fiercely experimental territory - at times bombastic and abrasive, at times delicate and melodic, but at all times innovative and surprising.
