Fruit Island

Description

Led by the exuberant melodies of cross-tapping guitarist Marcos Mena, the duo named standards make ebullient instrumental math-rock whose effervescent riffs teem with enthusiasm for life and music. On the bands debut full-length, Fruit Island, standards deftly retool math-rocks sinister and challenging tendencies into a style that is at once danceable yet still compositionally profound.

In spite of the bands technical and precise stylings, the strictly instrumental compositions are always catchy and singable, inviting listeners to join the bands dancing fruit mascots whose colorful personalities reflect the musics upbeat nature. Fruit Islands second single, May, perfectly captures the duos fruity alternate universe, conjuring images of anthropomorphic melons and berries bobbing along to pleasantly angular riffs and chop-heavy drums.
