Sonic Level: Pivot - In the Blood

In Australia, there are more sheeps than men; and there are more and more ear-catching bands. I've already mentioned some awkward distance-issues, which are limiting success of music played in Oceania. However, when something pops up in that region and manages to stay on the surface, it means it's good. Persistence, persistence, persistence - sometimes, the more they need it the better they become.

As one more math-rock band, Pivot has quite crazy attitude to both music and public image. Their heavily-produced tracks are driven by something I'd call 'digital percussion', if it was ever used there. The website http://pivotpivot.net/ is filled with five letters covering the links to the various stores videos and articles about the band. Having contract with Warp fills up their profile: London label loves freaks all around the world and supports them as hard as possible.

How good it would be to see Pivot live... This time, it looks like I'm late: Kangooroos are playing today in my country on a New Music Festival in Katowice. An unfortunate coincidence: if I only knew it before... I'd have to go for a over 100 miles journey to see them, but that's OK: they are worth doing it. Right now it looks like I must console myself with a video below.
