English instrumental progressive/math rock quartet POLY-MATH presents a multi-camera live studio session for “No Such Thing As Now.” The song is found on their acclaimed fifth album, Something Deeply Hidden, which was released in April on The Lasers Edge.
Bassist Joe Branton reveals, “During our European tour for our new album, Something Deeply Hidden, we spent a couple of days at RAMA Studios in Mannheim recording a live session version of the album’s second single, ‘No Such Thing As Now.’ It was really special to get to visit RAMA. We’ve been friends with the Studio Owner, Toby Schwarz, for a few years, so it was great to actually go there. RAMA is an amazing recording space built into an old Butter Factory on the outskirts of Mannheim. It’s full of really random old butter factory memorabilia and loads of great recording gear. They host a YouTube channel called, Melting Butter Sessions where they showcase different bands performing live at the studio, so we had a great time being a part of that.”

Based in Brighton and London, POLY-MATH is heavily influenced by early classic prog, Ethio-jazz, post-rock, and math rock, having explored different genres and identities over the course of their five albums, two side project lockdown albums, and numerous EPs.
The band’s fifth album Something Deeply Hidden was mixed by Mark Roberts, mastered by Chris Muth, and features additional guitar on “Terror Management Theory” by Ben Harris and additional music on “The Universe As An Engine” by C. A. Walters, the latter of which arrives as the album’s lead single. For fans of King Crimson, The Mars Volta, Behold The Arctopus, Dysrhythmia, Battles, And So I Watch You From Afar, and similar acts, POLY-MATH’s instrumental music is prime listening.
Something Deeply Hidden is out now through The Lasers Edge on CD, LP, and digitally HERE.
POLY-MATH will headline the Electromagnetic Fields Festival in Gloucester next weekend, with more live and studio announcements in the works.
