[INDIE] California by way of Western Mass duo Joe Andreoli and Ken Topham of Giraffes? Giraffes! have earned a reputation for their pioneering math-rock, something that takes cues from 1970s prog-masters like Yes and King Crimson. They bring it current via use of loops, samples and various other staples of the digital age while maintaining a scrappy, lo-fi edge. Occasional vocals don’t necessarily translate into a lyrical narrative, leaving the music sharp and undiluted. It packs a wallop and the talent is inarguable, but you might want to prep with some aspirin. The long-necked pair comes to Buffalo Iron Works this Saturday, August 1.
