Introducing Bronze Medallists: "Mathematics" single - watch the video on BandWeblogs.com
Bronze Medallists are named after a Bad Plus song and an Idlewild lyric. They should have got gold. Or at least silver. They are none the less happy to have appeared on the rostrum.

The four-piece, based in East London formed two years ago, in the wake of both band and relationship break ups, Bronze Medallists could be seen as a rebound band. But it's not.
"We're free birds" says frontman Olly Price, and this philosophy of creative freedom is the driving force behind the band's latest single, "Mathematics". It's a completely electronic sound and a departure for the members who've cut their teeth in numerous indie guitar and folk bands.
The single's B Side "Binary Girl" is about falling in love, but through and with the screens of iphones and laptops. About how the lines of the physical and virtual are getting tangled, it's an absurd Kurzwellian projection of our obsessions with technology, and with computers getting closer to passing the Turing test, a vision of the future.
Bronze Medallists are being made into Holograms by Musion, the folks behind Gorillaz and the MTV awards. The video for "Mathematics" reflects the band's desire to explore visuals for a more complete and immersive experience.
