_“The most upbeat math-rock duo you ever did hear…has the kind of breezy syncopated
grooves that you can’t help but shake your butt to – and the kind of chops that 
you can’t help but drop your jaw to.”- **Music Radar**_

_“There’s something so delightful about the dissonance of a duo that plays intricate
math rock instrumentals presenting their work with adorable cartoons of anthropomorphic
fruit and Cuban bodega color schemes. Let the music speak for itself. Thank your
lucky stars that Mena is using his talent to rip out playful emo-adjacent tunes 
rather than something evil like technical death metal or modern prog. We need him
on our side.”- **Paste Magazine**_

A fruitful combination of musical chops and catchy guitar-driven melodies; Uniquely
danceable yet complex instrumental rock.

Acclaimed Los Angeles math-rock masters **standards** have announced a March 22 
release date for their 3rd full-length, **‘Fruit Galaxy.’**

Of the new single standards’ **Marcos Mena** says: _“We couldn’t be more excited
to unveil “Cosmos”, as we feel it is our most ambitious song to date. We pushed 
the limits of our abilities to produce a song that we hope resonates with fans of
catchy, guitar-driven music.”_

_“If two-piece math-rockers Standards are known for anything, it’s first and foremost
for loving fruit more than any other band on the planet. Oh, and there’s also guitarist
Marcos Mena’s hugely technical yet hook-heavy tap-based playing style”- **Guitar
World**_

_“Los Angeles math rock duo Standards went from nothing to everything seemingly 
overnight. The band achieved fame across the math rock and wider music community
with their string of imaginative live videos, which quickly became viral sensations.”-**
Fecking Bahamas**_

_“Is Marcos Mena the best guitarist in indie rock?”- **48 Hills**_

_“With a touch of the 80s, (“Cherry”) is a joyous outburst from the duo with vibrant
synths, a masterclass in drumming and off the wall guitar playing. It’s an eclectic
mixture of electronic elements and outrageous musical talent, as the band push themselves
to create a level of complex musical brilliance. It’s my new addiction.”- **Backseat
Mafia**_

_“The sonic equivalent of a healthy and refreshing summer salad.”- **Frontrunner
Magazine**_
