65daysofstatic is a math/post rock band based in Sheffield, UK. The band was founded in 2001 by Joe Shrewsbury (also known as JoeFro), Paul Wolinski, and Iain Armstrong. In May 2003, Iain Armstrong left the band. Graham Clarke (also known as Feedle) briefly joined in 2003, but ultimately Rob Jones and Gareth Hughes became permanent members at the end of that year. However, Gareth Hughes left the band again around September 2004 and was replaced by Simon Wright.
Since their formation, 65daysofstatic has been creating unique and captivating music that blends elements of math rock and post rock genres. Their sound is characterized by intricate guitar work, complex rhythms, and atmospheric textures.
The band's talent and creativity have earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide. They have released several critically acclaimed albums including "The Fall of Math," "One Time for All Time," and "Wild Light." With their dynamic live performances, 65daysofstatic continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with their innovative approach to music.

Sheffield-based experimental stalwarts 65daysofstatic release their anticipated, expansive new album replicr, 2019 via Superball Music. This immersive album highlights a continuation from previous releases and a constant evolution which has been evident since their formation.

In 2016, they released their critically-acclaimed score for No Man’s Sky, the most anticipated game in the world at that time. Their generative, infinitely long, in-game score was experienced uniquely by each of the game’s millions of players.

This crash course in algorithmic music led to the band building their own procedural musical systems and generative soundscapes, crafting custom synths, live coding and writing software to make music for (and against) them. This new way of working they called Decomposition Theory — decomposing from the infinite possibilities their systems churned out instead of composing from the ground up, a dialectic between the band and their machines.

From the eventual smouldering wreckage of their broken software systems and entropic algorithms, the band realised their next record needed to be the opposite. An album born from the debris, but stripped down to its most focussed, intentional form. 

replicr, 2019 is the album carved from the wreckage. Forty two minutes of dread. A record that stares head on into the abyssal futures of late capitalism and refuses to blink. A melancholic, tireless soundtrack of acceleration. A feeling of frayed-nerved, time-smudged, light-speed drifting through cities built upon cities. Neon seen through rain-riddled windowpanes. replicr, 2019 is a stark, angular, stripped back slab of focussed noise. It wastes no time because there is no time left to waste.
