Ride the Fader

The New York quartet perfected their highly angular, mathematically complex guitar rock on their sophomore, and ultimately final, studio album. The incredibly dense, labyrinthine guitar interplay between Matt Sweeney and Clay Tarver demands intense listener attention, masking deeply melancholic melodies beneath a wall of post-hardcore dissonance. It remains a critically revered touchstone for intellectually rigorous, 1990s guitar-centric indie rock.
