Akarso - Discography (1998-2000)

    Akarso was a math-rock/hardcore band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Joe Wong, who was a member of this band, currently composes scores for notable Netflix tv shows/movies. Akarso delivered some frantic, intense and technical feats of music despite only having 8 recorded tracks in their discography.  Their CDEP was released on the excellent and incredibly underrated Highwater Records.
    I was first exposed to Akarso when I picked up the 7" split with Seven Days Of Samsara, their track really blew me away and it quickly became one of my favourite math rock songs and a mixtape staple. The amount of talent displayed in Akarso's discography is staggering, its a shame they are often overlooked and overcompared to split-mates Faraquet.
