Cinemechanica approach the duty of ass-kicking with the simultaneous solemnity and crazed lust of soldiers who’ve gone section eight. In its inlay and cover, The Martial Arts depicts the title’s Bruce Lee-overshadowed subject, bird’s-eye renderings of 15th century warfare providing both an arc of extreme destruction and a steely viewer detachment, like so much Andrei Rublev. To this band, rock is something dangerous and powerful, an offensive maneuver that demands equal parts strategy and force. In math-rock’s flailing emphasis on the former, Cinemechanica find a misnomer for their attack, one that they’ll begrudgingly shrug at and say, “Okay, so we’re kind of math-rock.” But as much as they are rock scholars, they’re also rock’s FUBAR arbiters
