Oh, math rock, how I adore your best bands and despise your run-of-the-mill local acts. Legendary math rock pioneers Piglet successfully funded their own Kickstarter campaign earlier today, which featured a handful of limited prints of their releases. Piglet’s entire official discography can be summarized as a six track EP that was released in 2005, Lava Land, and a 7″ single of “Little Bubble, Where You Going?”.

The crowdfunding campaign, however, expands upon their limited song catalog: a digital download of early songs (which is exactly what it sounds like), a limited run vinyl of Lava Land, and a new CD of archive recordings simply titled Songs. This means the band has effectively almost doubled the amount of songs they have; it’s just sad that the band is broken up. Math rock can’t survive on its own, I guess.

You can order any of the packages on the page here;  lord knows once math rock evolves into a slightly larger presence as Giraffes? Giraffes!, Tera Melos, and Toe all continue to take off, that vinyl will become overpriced to some collector somewhere.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
