Cuzco is an American instrumental band known for blending emotive melodies with math-rock and midwest emo influences to create a distinctive sound that resonates with fans of intricate and expressive music. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, the group has carved out a niche within the indie music scene with their unique instrumental compositions that are as thought-provoking as they are compelling. The band’s sound is characterized by an alchemy of complex guitar work, dynamic percussion, and layered musical textures that often build to cathartic crescendos.

Their releases, including "A Miracle Sun Design" and "Crocodillious," showcase Cuzco's ability to craft songs that are both technically sophisticated and rich in emotional depth. "Sketchbook" further exemplifies the band's penchant for introspective journeys through sound, offering listeners a canvas upon which the music paints vivid sonic pictures. Their live performances, captured in recordings such as "Updated Dad (Live)," demonstrate the raw energy and chemistry of the band onstage. Collaborative projects like the "Cuzco/Catholics Split" underline the band's collaborative spirit and versatility, while "A Medicine for Melancholy" serves as an evocative escapade through the more pensive and moody shades of their musical palette. As they continue to develop their sound, Cuzco remains a beacon for admirers of intricate instrumentals and heart-stirring wordless narratives.
