Mathemagic
← Back to Artists
Mathemagic is the collaboration of brothers Evan and Dylan Euteneier from Guelph Ontario. They capture the feeling of the summer using their warm, dazed guitar riffs, barely-there synths, and blissed out harmonies. The songs draw inspiration from The Beach Boys to Animal Collective and contemporaries such as Washed Out, Friend, and Toro Y Moi. The brothers initially worked on separate projects until coming together as a band last summer.
“We decided to start collaborating on a project and wrote a few songs where we tried to be as creative as possible with the sounds and ideas that we used,” says Dylan. “Generally we don’t really have a specific writing process. We usually just build off of a sound, or riff that we really like. We have tried to stay away from using samples, and rely on our own vision.”
On early evidence, Canadian duo Mathemagic seem to be working in a hazy but delicate nu-gaze vein, favoring shimmering drones and layered voices heavy on the reverb. “Breaststroke” is from a self-titled EP according to their MySpace, and it’s utterly devoid of friction, but in the best possible way: drums seems to be falling down stairs in slow motion, handclaps keep time, and a twinkling synth seems refracted by sunlight.

The first time we posted a Mathemagic song, the band was so new we accidentally called them Mathemagics. But now that we’ve known them for a week, it feels like an eternity and they know our deepest secrets, ie we love rainsticks and any songs that sound like rainsticks were a major inspiration. Which “High” is, so of course we love it, and if Mathemagic keeps cranking songs like it and “Breaststroke,” we are going to have clear out some space for koi pond in the office. So peaceful! Expect a five song EP from the band “in the next few weeks.” The Fader
