At first I was like 'yeah this is Midwest emo math rock, I know that kind of shit'. Then, a brass instrument started swinging. Zappa imagery popped in my head and this kind of jazzy math rock started making sense. I'm a huge Clever Girl fan, so a brass-tinged math rock record is something I'm always down for. The vocals are meek when they are not bordering on harsher tones (RYM says it's post-hardcore, and this time I don't believe you RYM), not incredible (ofc it's influenced by emo) but suiting the music. A great underground record for all you twinkly stans, although it's not the most memorable I've recently encountered.
