	Mobius Band
		After three years of wood-shedding in the pine forests of Shutesbury, Massachusetts, electronic rock trio Mobius Band has traded up: from shoe-string home recording to Peter Katis’s Tarquin Studios (Interpol, Rainer Maria); from rural Massachusetts to Brooklyn (two-thirds of the band anyway); and from their own label to Ghostly International.
		These changes follow the band’s gradual evolution over the course of three self-released EPs, from exploratory composers of instrumental suites to crafters of gracefully intricate pop gems.
		Mobius Band debuted on Ghostly with the critically-acclaimed City Vs Country EP in spring 2005, preceding their debut full-length The Loving Sounds of Static in August.

	Hyperseeing, Hypersculptures, Knots, and Minimal Surfaces
		It will now be shown that there is a configuration of a trefoil knot that has a minimal surface consisting of two Möbius bands that share part of their edges as in Figure 11(a) and also alternately cross over each other as in Figure 11(b).
		In Figure 12(b) Möbius band 1 is shown and in Figure 12(c) Möbius band 2 is shown.
		Models of the multiple Möbius band minimal surfaces in Figures 13 and 15 are shown in the paper Knots and Multiple Möbius Bands published in Visual Mathematics.

	Mobius Dream Portal, by John Galleher
		Students spoke of being visited by beings who drew the Mobius strip in the sand and revealed it to be a symbol of the transformation to unconditional love and acceptance.
		August Ferdinand Mobius, the German mathematician and astronomer who discovered the shape in 1858, was born under the astrological sign of Scorpio, the ruler of rebirth and transformation.
		Marcia noted that the Mobius strip is the universal logo for recycling- transformation on the material plane.

	Ivars Peterson's MathTrek - Recycling Topology
		Long found that the alternative recycling symbol was based on a different surface—a one-sided band formed by gluing together the two ends of a long strip of paper after giving one end three half-twists instead of just one.
		In general, all bands with an odd number of half-twists (and their mirror images) are, roughly speaking, one-sided surfaces.
		Topologists generally apply the term "Möbius band" not only to the standard form (one half-twist) but also to the symmetric version (three half-twists) and anything else "homeomorphic" to the standard form.

	Mobius Band: Three EP: Pitchfork Record Review
		I caught the Mobius Band opening for Hood and Surface of Eceon about nine months ago, and this is pretty much exactly what happened.
		The band's kitchen sink blend of everything from fusion-era Miles to prime Kraut groove to glitch to straight-up rock was pursued from a fresh angle, and their exploratory, amateurish approach was charming.
		The Mobius vocal chops are up of late, and they've crafted their most immediate melody for the occasion here.

	The mystery of the Mobius strip
		The Mobius strip, also known as Mobius band, is a one sided surface with only one boundary component.
		The real projective plane is also a related object to Mobius strips, due to the fact that, if you cut a circular disk out of the real projective plane, what you are left with is a Mobius strip.
		To get a clear view of the popularity of Mobius strips, a lot of companies used this pattern to create their logos; the most important of them is the international symbol for recycling that is represented by a Mobius loop.

	Mish Mash May 2001 Spotlight: The Mobius Band
		While many bands are incorporating electronic music into their sound, only a few are truly embracing it with soul and spirit.
		In their latest release, the EP One, The Mobius Band gets to the heart of electronica by capturing the essence, reducing it to sounds and rhythms and reconstructing it again into something new.
		I bring a lot of material to the band that is more or less fully formed - 3 or 4 seasons and july 3rd 1995 are examples on #1.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Mobius Band
		Shuttesbury, Massachusetts natives The Mobius Band seem to enjoy playing with synths, though they don't put their fascination to use to alter the sonic landscape.
		In the band's defense, Peter Katis, of Turn on the Bright Lights and "removing color from music" fame, was brought in to produce this album.
		Judging by the lyrics, the band may have wanted at least an element of the detached on the record, but the flat instrumental production that the predictable Katis gleam makes for an album in which the listener is left waiting for something to happen.

	The Hoya \| Mobius Meanders, Falls Short of Top Notch
		There is an annoying tendency amongst indie bands these days to rush-release an incomplete full-length album, when what is really warranted is series of thoroughly-developed EPs or singles.
		The Loving Sound of Static is a perfect example of such an album, as Mobius Band pad out a number of carefully composed, charming electro tunes with bland, instantly forgettable filler tracks.
		While Mobius Band’s sound has been compared to the likes of The Postal Service, Interpol and The Broken Social Scene — and at times such likenings are justifiable — there just isn’t enough on this disc to make it worthy of its exhaustive 45-minute length.

	BEAT THE INDIE DRUM DOT COM
		While the sound that Mobius plays to could easily be thrown into Interpol territory, they gracefully escape this by throwing elements of electronics and noise into songs, weaving in and out (notably the electronic percussion throughout the album).
		Instead of throwing their noisy guitars to the forefront of the sound, Mobius puts the percussion first, almost forcing the listener to take notice, and the almost monotone vocals sit nicely on the surface of it all.
		Elements of several post-punk bands come to mind (notably Kitchens of Distinctions and Disintegration era Cure) but Mobius textures their sound, giving it a splendid originality all its own.

	GIANT STEP™ \| Release - The Loving Sounds of Static by Mobius Band
		Musically, the record finds the band at their best, soldering hard-hitting drums and expansive guitars to the gorgeous electronics that garnered so much praise for the City Vs Country EP; lyrically it is a thoughtful study of the ebb and flow of relationships and the landscape of daily life.
		Mobius Band distinguishes itself with a sincerity that has long been forgotten amidst the hype and insubstantial grandiosity of new music.
		Fine-tuned during extensive sessions with Peter Katis (Interpol) at his Tarquin Studios, The Loving Sounds of Static is truly a landmark, not only for Mobius Band and Ghostly International, but for anyone who has experienced the emotional friction that accompanies a coming of age.

	Splendid Magazine reviews The Mobius Band: Two
		The Mobius band is something of a quandary for me, as they honest-to-God fall into the "They don't sound like anyone else" group.
		I would refer to their style as "schizophrenic", but that word is both inaccurate and inadequate in describing this band.
		The Mobius Band is also the first rock/electronic band I've heard for which I can't determine which element is more integral.

		The people who seem to point them out the most are usually the music elitists (me), who feel as if they have something to prove to anyone who asks them, "What kind of music do you listen to" (me).
		This album can't be called rock and be correct, it can't be called electronic and be correct either; it's a combination of all the colors of the musical rainbow.
		On Mobius Band's first full-length adventure, the band's growing love of bleeps, bloops, and fuzzy-wuzziness is exemplified.

	New Romantic - The Loving Sounds of Static Mobius Band / CD / 2005
		The Mobius Band's full-length Ghostly International debut, The Loving Sounds of Static, mines similar territory as their City vs. Country EP, although the album is less spacy and more rooted in guitar pop.
		In fact, the Mobius Band may be best appreciated for how ably they can switch from live drums to tinny drum machines, or from guitars to glitchy synths, within their songs.
		The Mobius Band does better when they play to their strengths as a witty but heartfelt pop band, whether it's on the wry groove of the title track or the soaring choruses of "Radio Coup," which borrows a bit of the easygoing flair of mid-'90s indie rock.

	Mobius Band: The Loving Sound of Static: Pitchfork Record Review
		Most bands would be better served by ditching the whole 45-minute album thing and focusing on a steady stream of concise 20-minute EPs.
		Following four increasingly focused EPs that saw the band go from quaint instrumental post-rock to this year's blip-rocking hybrid City vs Country, the Brooklyn-based trio disappoints here by retracing the alienated posture of their previous release while rarely reaching its respectable heights.
		Mobius Band's first Ghostly International EP features five slices of muscular avant-pop.

		I thought since I was also streaming The Mobius Band's number "Taxicab" (from the same release) a couple times a day that, you know, it was no big deal.
		A week later I saw The Mobius Band perform in a crowded and smoky basement club in Cambridge, MA.
		The band's sound suggestively straddles the laps of Chicago-style acts (Tortoise, Chicago Underground Quartet) and new and classic German indie bands (The Notwist, Neu!).
