Biography

65daysofstatic, also called 65days or 65 dos, is a British instrumental post-rock band from Sheffield, England. The group has eight studio albums to its credit: The Fall of Math, One Time for All Time, The Destruction of Small Ideas, We were Exploding Anyway, Silent Running, Wild Light, No Man's Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe, and replicr, 2019. Founded in 2001 as a trio consisting of Joe Shrewsbury, Paul Wolinski, and Iain Armstrong, 65daysofstatic is said to derive its name from a John Carpenter film project, Stealth Bomber, featuring Kurt Russell. Another theory put forward by the New Statesman newspaper is that the name would derive from psychological experiments conducted in the 1960s during which it was discovered that exposure to 65 days of white noise would drive one mad.
