Anton Engdahl I LOVE THIS. I've listened to it tons of times by now and it is ridiculously good in every way. Vasco Da Gama was definitely a gust of fresh air in the math rock scene! Favorite track: The Greenland Problem.

Michael Porcello I really dig the vocals, especially how they interact with the instrumentals. Favorite track: Brigadiers.

Dan Beesley (cleft) Vasco's last ever recorded offering. So, SO sodding sad. Cleft are humbled and privileged to be playing their last ever show. A brilliant EP to end on though... Favorite track: The Greenland Problem.

Brigadiers 03:04
Hang your hair, you don't seem right. And carry it back.. carry all the heads back, You know those things won't spike themselves at the borders. You know those things can't see themselves around the corners. This and every night we spend Tied up with our mirrored history. When you boil the substance down, And when your ignorance glows, You'll high-five all the breathless brigadiers When they say that you should know. This and every mirrored history.

Powder Post 04:14
Since I fell off the grid I formed the plan to keep plummeting Through the map, tunnel into the wood it was pinned onto So dust fills my ears I'll carve rivers here, I could get used to the distant howling, Eating bug shoes. Yes I know I'm powder post, so my head still shows, My body's in the sawdust. Leaving holes, I blister false and don't stop once, With razor legs I caught up. Lesser pests will need more steps, I'll sink ships yet By chewing through the awning.

It doesn't matter what I stick to the walls They only come alive with you inside. It doesn't matter where the sickness resides You are the hour arm I'm swinging from. A native away and a tourist at home, Please pin the borders back. This city will help me spit my teeth again, Just pull on the rib-like wire to watch me sail and spin. This city will help me out in getting out Just pull on the collarbone coil. It took a year to stop and focus my eyes They wandered long enough, then stuck and shut. I never knew i'd jump the yawning divide, Now all the other ruts don't seem so tough. This truck could loosen up its cargo so much That it leaves a trail that we will follow Until it reaches some great shining wall.

So you're Martel surveying the scene over frozen sea You broke the sheets and turned them green, Stones that lift the trees. In major cracks that split the screens; even number theme. When the cat comes home with bad news No cream, no shirt, no shoes Roll it over so the freeze frame will decohere Until the branch decays When the rocks lay down the seascape No land too big to break We're screaming embers in a test tube The proof the fire is in a filthy mood When the crystals pinch the last fuse No belt, no book, no bruise It comes too late to test you, The proof the floods were due. So you're Martel surveying the scene; Stones that never breathe. But this is still the North Sea, Still our skin will freeze.
