***WFMU aptly described BLACK MATH’s debut LP from 2009 as “Dark-wave buried in tape hiss, with grinding synth, electric cello, and drum machine. The three piece lists Depeche Mode and Big Black as influences, but they’re straight up 80s.” The band will also tell you that Siouxsie and the Banshees are a big influence, but Black Math has a completely compelling and catchy, but quite dark and mysterious sound all their own. Nine killer tracks of dark-wave pop including a cover of the Anals’ “Commando of Love.” First pressing of 500 copies.
