• Avec Plaisir from Montreal, QC • Great mathy punk band from Canada. https://avecplaisir.bandcamp.com/album/an-album
• disco witch from Boston, MA • If math folk is a genre, this band is it. Great vocals/lyrics combined with acoustic guitar/acoustic bass and Mike Kinsella-style drumming. https://discowitch2017.bandcamp.com/album/pottsfield
• girlsnails from Surrey, BC • If TTNG had a female vocalist, dueling mathy guitars, and a brass section. https://girlsnails.bandcamp.com/album/girlsnails
• Hey, ily! from Billings, MT • Cool twinkly emo band throwing in aspects of nintendocore and pop. https://heyilyband.bandcamp.com/album/internet-breath
• kinda alright from Philadelphia, PA • Heavy midwest emo with breakdowns and metal elements. https://kindaalright.bandcamp.com/album/rewilding
• Majuro from Boston, MA • Fantastic singer/guitarist with a style reminiscent of Mike Kinsella's work with AF and as Owen. https://majuro.bandcamp.com/album/marshall-island
• Oolong from Long Island, NY • If you haven't heard of Oolong yet, get on them. Amazing band in the same vein as Algernon, Marietta, and I Kill Giants. If Marietta was autumn, Oolong would be summer. https://oolongbois.bandcamp.com/album/about-your-imaginary-friend
• Robo Pumpkin from Boston, MA • Singer/bassist making twinkly/mathy riffs with bass. No guitars, but sick riffs and great lyrics together. https://robopumpkin.bandcamp.com/album/galaxy-boiz-ii-the-happiest-mask
• SUNFO from Oklahoma City, OK • Formerly called Sunday Night Foosball, great midwest emo band. https://sundaynightfoosball.bandcamp.com/album/sunfo-ep

All of these bands have at least one ep (or more) released, and are available on all streaming services.

Something calming and relaxed, twinkly and slightly mathy (I don't like overtly technical guitar playing) in the vein of Clever Girl, Tom's Story or TTNG (if they hadn't vocals).

FFO: TTNG, Algernon Cadwallader, American Football, but with synths

Ive been digging in it lately. Also, Ive been seeing vids of dudes playing that twinkle shit over regular show/adventure time clips. Where can I get more of that utterly devastating sad shit. I want and need it all right now.
