STREETHAWK
the rosebuds/love and mathematicsIn the spirit of summer city wandering, we walked into Saturday night’s Rosebuds show on a whim. Not unlike the way one breaks in new shoes with a surprise gift from the neighborhood dog, we stepped directly into the glorious jangle of Vancouver’s Love and Mathematics. The band’s tight, earnest delivery of high-frettin’ guitars, gawky, elastic arrangements and eccentric vocals made for an engaging set. This evening saw the openers, Love and Mathematics, walk away with the best set of the night.EXCLAIM!!!
In one of the most atmospheric venues in town, Richards On Richards, Vancouver was fortunate enough to finally host indie legends the Appleseed Cast for the first time ever. Supporting them were local boys, Love and Mathematics, who were a perfect pairing for the night;
complete with layered dreamlike vocals, and a sound that is brimming with sunlight even in the most melancholy of moments, they drift along in slightly eerie tones that blend seamlessly together. Ending on a drawn out piece that swirled around and heaved like the ocean’s waves, the four boys proved to be steady alongside the night’s headliners.

the rosebuds/love and mathematicsAs far as the openers went, the dense arrangements of Vancouver’s Love and Mathematics left a melodramatic urgency in the air, setting up the night well
JAY / MY SPACE -If Frank Zappa were alive and for some bizzare reason had a love child with a Bulgarian Dwarf named Rutabega, who for some untold reason had an uncontrollable urge to create an experience that was unpronouncable in the human language... This and this alone would be what you guys did the other night at my dogs house. What the shizzamiralinkyramma was that. Wholly shakers and quakers, squakers and bambookahs was that?
THE TERMINAL CITY: love and mathematics enchanted the crowd with thier indie pop rhythms and charm. Go see them live if you get a chance!
THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT: "esoteric atmospherics, layering repeated guitar, bass, and keyboard lines to build a lush wall of swirling tone. It's an approach that the band pulls off with aplomb."
EDMONTON JOURNAL - "Eerily gorgeous"
