Aspects of Physics

Rising from the ashes of the enigmatic San Diego post-rock troupe Physics at the beginning of 2000, Aspects of Physics exists as a continuation of existing ideas with the much-needed fusion of new thoughts on music. In order to further their experiments, Jason Soares (who has served time in such bands as Rob Crow's power-pop Thingy, the mock-political hardcore band Rice, and the indie-instrumentalist Stacatto Reads) and original member Thatcher Orbitashi have constructed a wide array of input devices in the forms of guitar, synths (vintage to virtual), laptops, desktops, MIDI controllers, projectors, wireless transmitters, and modified electronic devices, among other techwich gadgets. After playing and touring for over a year (supporting such acts as Lesser, Pinback, Tristeza, The Album Leaf, The Locust, The Fucking Champs, etc), Thatcher parted from the duo and was quickly replaced with Physics alumni and sometime contributor, JFRE Coad. JFRE is no stranger to experimentation, as witnessed in his stint with the same local punk/rock band that spawned pre-post rockers A Minor Forest and the skitzo-n-bass Lesser (of which he was an early live member and authorized trouble maker).

So while AOP's predecessor Physics brought the worlds of indie/punk rock and electronic music together five years before it was even hip to do so, Aspects of Physics takes it one step further with their seamless welding of the styles of post-rock, ambient, IDM, visuals. And lest we forget the punk rock influence, does so with a general dissent towards power structures and non-dynamic systems.
