Toronto's Sexy Mathematics Reflect on Societal Resentment with "Responsory" off New Self-Titled LP
In life, we find that the beauty of connection is often shadowed by the pain of loss, and the enduring nature of love is contrasted by the fleeting moments of existence. This duality – the interplay of light and darkness – is at the heart of Sexy Mathematics. Chris Daviduik (guitar, vocals, songwriting) and Matt Aggus (drums) have forged a unique musical bond over the years. Originally formed in 2009, the band began as a synth rock group known for their intense, emotive soundscapes. Over time, their music has evolved, mirroring the complexity of the world around them and their own growth as artists.
The band's new self-titled album, Sexy Mathematics, is a testament to their evolution. It delves into themes of personal relationships, loneliness, despair, existential crises, and the anxiety about an uncertain future. This record represents a significant leap for the band, who decided to hire producer Stephen Krecklo and mixer Jordon Zadorozny to elevate their music to new heights. The result is a compelling blend of their rock foundations and modern digital synthesizers, creating a rich, atmospheric sound that is both intricate and powerful.

Largely influenced by The Cure's "Lovesong," the lyrics of "Responsory," Sexy Mathematics' focus track, are a reflection of the resentment we can feel having to share societal with those we disagree with, or even hate, while at the same time being unable to truly express ourselves, even to those we hold dearest. No matter how close or far apart we are, there's always a barrier in understanding one another. Each generation lives through these problems eventually passing the burden on to the next generation without any fulfilling resolution. Even in the face of existential burdens like climate change, the cycle continues.
