An anthology of singles, outtakes, and the contents of the band's singular album release that was compiled after their dissolution, #Analphabetapolothology (which I will henceforth abbreviate as Anal :BlobCat_uwu:), exists at an inflection point where #MathRock branched off into #MidwestEmo, at least imo. It has qualities of both genres but it's more visceral in its sound and energy. More specifically, the band, #CapnJazz, originated in Illinois (woo 🌽 ), which is one of the hotbeds of Midwest Emo. Our most notable product was #AmericanFootball, formed by Cap'n Jazz drummer Mike Kinsella in Champaign; Cap'n Jazz got together in the Chicago 'burbs, which also generated one of the biggest mainstream #Emo bands ever, a little project called #FallOutBoy, but that's further down the timeline.

Anal has a sort of poppy feel to it, which makes sense given i the beginning. Cap'n Jazz's leader singer, Tim Kinsella, brother of Mike, later formed #JoanofArc. Their first two albums have a robust, mature vibe that carry a lot of Math Rock and Midwest Emo influences, as if Cap'n Jazz's boyish, ephemeral sound had stayed in the oven a little longer to fully bake.

Once a hidden gem, now a cult classic, Anal is considered a hallmark record in #Alt/ #Indie/ #PostPunk/ #PostHardcore history--distilling the strongest ingredients of Math Rock and recombining them with punchy, unique personality that laid the groundwork for Midwest Emo's characteristic sound.

I made a Math Rock etc rec list on my SpaceHey profile here: blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=128

At some point in the future I'll write proper summaries and my thoughts on each album; I'll save all those for my big boy blog whenever I get around to finally sorting that.
