Over the last couple of days I discovered Giraffes? Giraffes!, who are a brilliant math-rock two-piece that appear intent on melting your brain while giving you the biggest adrenalin rush of your life. A sudden assault of pure mayhem in the best possible way, it’s some of the most exhilirating fun I’ve had listening to an album in some time.

In a nutshell, this is the band you turn to when you feel like Battles is sounding a bit polished for your ears.

They released a killer 5 track mini-album entitled More Skin with Milk-Mouth last December, and are offering two mp3s from their website. Check them out, and make sure your sound system is turned up suitably.
