Writhing Squares are a two piece from Philadelphia consisting of Kevin Nickles (sax, flute, clarinet, synth, vocals) and Daniel Provenzano (bass, synth, percussion, vocals). Their latest release 'Chart for the Solution' is like if you put prog/punk/psych into a low-fi blender with a strong aftertaste of brass. While sounding like a conglomerate of styles mostly from the 70's this album is certainly unique in how their (many) influences come together. The album has a real "space" vibe with the synths and retro production, but it sounds like a deranged punker escaped the psych rock spaceship's holding cell, with lots of surprises sprinkled throughout.
This is the first release I've heard from these guys but they have multiple recordings as far back as 2013...so I'm curious to see how they arrived at such interesting intersections.
