65daysofstatic
65daysofstatic came out of Sheffield in the early 2000s with a sound that felt genuinely new: instrumental post-rock run through breakbeats, glitches, and walls of guitar. Their debut, The Fall of Math, arrived in 2004 and made their name, and they've kept pushing since, from the heavier electronics of We Were Exploding Anyway to the cold, machine-driven textures of replicr, 2019.

The Fall of Math (2004). Their debut is still the clearest doorway in, balancing quiet piano passages against sudden eruptions of noise and drums. It has "Retreat! Retreat!" and "Install a Beak in the Heart That Clucks Time in Arabic," two tracks that capture everything the band does well.
Biography
65daysofstatic (often abbreviated as 65dos, 65days, or simply 65) are an English post-rock band from Sheffield. Formed in 2001, the band is composed of instrumentalists Paul Wolinski, Joe Shrewsbury, Rob Jones and Simon Wright.
The band's music has been described as noisy, electronic, guitar-driven instrumentals, interspersed with live drums and off-beat sampled drums akin to those of IDM artists, although they have continued to evolve their sound by incorporating electronic music, drum and bass and glitch music. They have been described as, "a soundtrack to a new dimension, where rock, dance and electronica are equals."
The band's first album, The Fall of Math, was released in September 2004, to critical acclaim, described as "an album that can retain the dynamics, fraught tension and climactic explosiveness of its peers and influences, whilst still sounding like one of the most urgent and direct long-player releases of the year." The band released a further five studio albums, One Time for All Time, The Destruction of Small Ideas, We Were Exploding Anyway, Wild Light, replicr, 2019, and a soundtrack, Silent Running.
