The Fall of Math is the debut album by the instrumental post-rock band 65daysofstatic, released on September 20, 2004, through Monotreme.

Release

[edit | edit source]

The album spawned two singles, both released after the album. While "Retreat! Retreat!" was a standard CD single release featuring two b-sides, "Hole" was released as a 7-track EP with a length of almost thirty minutes. Both tracks were accompanied by promotional videos.

"Retreat! Retreat!" samples a voice of Matt Dillon from the 1992 film Singles ("This negative energy just makes me stronger, we will not retreat, this band is unstoppable!"). The music video for "Retreat! Retreat!" was produced by Media Lounge. An unusual time signature 10/4 is used in the middle of the song.

The song "Aren't We All Running?" appeared in the initial trailer for the video game Binary Domain.[5]
