Remember earlier, in my post for yesterday, when I mentioned a band called Botch on my way to arriving at yesterday's band Minus the Bear? For the benefit of those of you who were perhaps a little lost, lo and behold, today you're getting a Botch song. History class is now in session.
Your Sunday song is "Transitions From Persona to Object" from Botch's second and final LP We Are the Romans, released all the way back in 1999. Do its jagged dissonances sound a little different from Minus the Bear or, say, Russian Circles, to name just one of the other post-Botch bands? Good ear.
It's a testament to the diversity of influences and tastes swirling about in Botch that so many different bands came out of its demise. Even if Dillinger Escape Plan-esque mathy mayhem isn't your cup of tea, Botch still holds an influential place in post-hardcore history, so get educated, son.
