Label: Topshelf
LITE—one of Japan's most prolific math rock quartets—marry machine-like precision with just the right amount of melodic gravitas on their fifth album, Cubic. With a clear modern electronica influence, the album brings the clean shimmer of Battles to the classic technicality of jazz and progressive rock. Considering Cubic was mixed by Keith Souza (Battles) and mastered by Heba Kadry (!!!, Prefuse 73, the Mars Volta), it makes a whole lotta sense.
Pushing boundaries, melting minds, changing the way music is produced and listened to. All in a days work for Japan’s LITE. 13 years since they formed and the band are still reinventing the wheel when it comes to instrumental music and taking it to places it’s never been before. Now with their fifth full-length album ‘Cubic’ the band have once again put together a collection of songs that will have your head spinning for months to come.
