Self-Titled Summer | Animals As Leaders (2009, US)
Next in our Self-Titled Summer series is number 472 on The List, submitted by Chip_Unicorn. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point(s) of origin: Founded in 2007 by the brilliant guitarist Tosin Abasi (formerly of Reflux), this debut album captures the Washington D.C.-based band when it was still a solo project. Abasi chose the name based on the novel Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
- Tasting notes: Instrumental prog metal, math/prog rock, djent, sometimes jazzy, bits of electronica
- Standout track: This is sort of one of those albums where it’s sort of all or nothing – if you like one you’ll like all.
- Where are they now?: The band is currently a trio, with Javier Reyes and Matt Garstka. They will be touring Australia in September playing their 3rd album, The Joy of Motion, in its entirety in celebration of that album’s 10th anniversary. We also have their most recent release, Parrhesia, on The List, so we’ll be visiting their work again in the future! Abasi also founded the jazz rock supergroup T.R.A.M. with Reyes (alongside former Mars Volta member Adrián Terrazas-González and former Suicidal Tendencies member Eric Moore), and Garstka has also worked on Reyes’ prog metal side project, Mestis.

"A tight, eclectic trio led by guitarist #TosinAbasi, it definitely sits in the #djent space, but with notable digressions, which this cut, Red Miso, exemplifies. I generally like their less shreddy, more conceptual stuff, and this is the best cut I’ve heard from them since Physical Education..."
