Math The Band- Don’t Worry

Math The Band- Don’t Worry
8/10

Don’t Worry is hyperactive, intense electronic pop for speed freaks that threatens to send its listeners into intensive care for the sheer speed of its songs. Frequent chant-alongs, crescendos and spiralling madness are met with recurrent gong sounds at the end of each track, explained by the artists as their “signature”, likened to a painter’s scribe. Where many of their ilk fall into the trap of such over-exuberant delivery coming through with under-whelming ideas, MTB save their songs with writing developed over the years. Touching sincere moments (‘Introducing, The Magic Eye’) break it up and there’s a yin-yang balance in Kevin and Justine’s sharing of vocal duties. Espousing on life’s daily gripes (“What’s with food on airplanes? I don’t get it!”), passions and general mundaneness, they peak at the brilliantly anthemic, emboldening and passionate ‘Tour De Friends’ and carry on up the rainbow with each succeeding song. Hinting at even greater things to come in closer ‘It’s Gonna Be Awesome’, MTB has gotten successively more hi-fi – making the next release an exciting prospect.
