NOW YOU ARE THIS
Numbers thrash the dancefloor by tangling the limbs of new wave, no wave, punk, disco, garage, and synth-pop.
The San Francisco trio was formed in 2000 by vocalist and drummer Indra Dunis and two ex-Xerobot members: guitarist Dave Broekema and keyboardist Eric Landmark.
The group's debut, Numbers Life, released on Tigerbeat6 in June of 2002, presents a band that's directly descended from Gang of Four and most closely related to labelmates Erase Errata and the U.K.'s Clinic.
Their second album, In My Mind All the Time, arrived in 2004, and the group moved to Kill Rock Stars for the follow-up, 2005's We're Animals, which came full of bubblegum hooks and vocal harmonies.
2007's Now You Are This lays the detailed focus on keyboard sounds and repetition and exemplifies an ever evolving band.
