standards

Standards is an innovative and dynamic math rock duo known for their complex guitar work, catchy melodies, and wonderfully intricate rhythms. Formed in Los Angeles, California, the band consists of guitarist Marcos Mena and drummer Kynwyn Sterling. Their music is distinguished by its blend of technical skill and playful compositions, which tends to evoke a light-hearted and joyful energy, a refreshing departure from more traditional, serious takes on the genre.

With a catalog filled with fruit-themed titles, Standards has been making a name for themselves in the math rock scene through both studio recordings and compelling live performances. Albums like "Fruit Town" and "Fruit Island" showcase the band's aptitude for blending the sweet with the sophisticated, wrapping complex musicianship in a palatable shell that attracts a diverse audience. In tracks like "Cherry" and "Papaya," listeners can detect the duo's rich, well-crafted soundscapes that are both technically impressive and immediately accessible. Their performance on "standards on Audiotree Live," along with their self-titled release "Standards," further cements their growing reputation as one of the most exciting and endearing acts on the contemporary instrumental rock circuit.
