The Fall of Math is the debut album by the instrumental post-rock band 65daysofstatic, released on September 20, 2004, through Monotreme. It contains what is arguably their most famous track, "Retreat! Retreat!".[citation needed]
The album spawned two singles, both released after the album. While "Retreat! Retreat!" was a standard CD single release featuring two b-sides, "Hole" was released as a 7-track EP with a length of almost thirty minutes. Both tracks were accompanied by promotional videos.
The song "Aren't We All Running?" appeared in the initial trailer for the video game Binary Domain.[5]
