SEXY MATHEMATICS – “RESPONSORY”
INDEPENDENT
In life, we find that the beauty of connection is often shadowed by the pain of loss, and the enduring nature of love is contrasted by the fleeting moments of existence. This duality – the interplay of light and darkness – is at the heart of Sexy Mathematics. Chris Daviduik (guitar, vocals, songwriting) and Matt Aggus (drums) have forged a unique musical bond over the years. Originally formed in 2009, the band began as a synth rock group known for their intense, emotive soundscapes. Over time, their music has evolved, mirroring the complexity of the world around them and their own growth as artists.
The band’s new self-titled album, Sexy Mathematics, is a testament to their evolution. It delves into themes of personal relationships, loneliness, despair, existential crises, and the anxiety about an uncertain future. This record represents a significant leap for the band, who decided to hire producer Stephen Krecklo and mixer Jordon Zadorozny to elevate their music to new heights. The result is a compelling blend of their rock foundations and modern digital synthesizers, creating a rich, atmospheric sound that is both intricate and powerful.
Sexy Mathematics’ journey started in Saskatoon with the release of their Integration EP, followed by their debut full-length album, Future Nights, in 2011. This period marked their transition to Toronto, where they recorded their sophomore album, Electronics, in 2014. The path to their latest self-titled album, Sexy Mathematics, was not straightforward. The band faced delays and challenges, including the global COVID-19 pandemic, but these obstacles only deepened their resolve to refine their sound and vision.
Despite the challenges and changes, Sexy Mathematics remains true to their roots. Their music is a reflection of their personal and collective experiences, a testament to their enduring connection as a band. For listeners who believe in the transformative power of music, Sexy Mathematics offers a profound, immersive experience – a record that demands repeated listening to fully appreciate its depth and nuance.
ARTIST QUOTE
We spent our time working on and refining these songs to bring them all to a level that exceeds the work we’ve done previously, and I believe we’ve succeeded in that respect. The sound is more cohesive, the arrangements are tighter, the melodies are more interesting, and the performance is more polished. At the same time we’ve retained many of the core elements that make the music unique in the first place related to the style of the performance and lyrical content. ~Chris Daviduik
