Bio
"Behind the wall, the gods play; they play with numbers of which the universe is made up." - Le Corbusier The New Sound of Numbers is an experimental post-punk band based in Athens, Georgia. Their sound radiates an urgency that expresses yet parallels themes of existential anxiety with an intuitive hope. Percussive layers build the songs and balance themselves with 12-string electric guitar, bass guitar, violin, clarinet, and multiple female vocals. They have been compared to The Slits and Lizzy Mercier Descloux The New Sound of Numbers debuted with the album "Liberty Seeds" in 2006, released on the Cloud Recordings label. They have toured with Pylon, Circulatory System, and The Instruments. Influences include The Raincoats, The Slits, Sly and the Family Stone, and anything with a driving rhythm. Currently the band is working on a new record which is nearing completion.
