Got any specific song recommendations? Specifically to do with his guitar playing?

Just to follow-up on this in a bit more detail for you and other readers; Animals as Leaders is a three piece instrumental band with Toxin, another guitarist Javier Rayes* and a drummer, Matt Gartska. The band lacks a bassist for a nifty reason.

Whereas the typical guitar has 6 strings, Tosin and Javier both play 8-string guitars. Those two extra strings are tuned lower and allow a guitar to play the same low notes as a bass. These two dudes dont swap roles so much as accompany themselves, though. They're both incredibly talented and create music with rhythmic complexity and depth.

Physical Education is catchy and bouncy and the music video is silly. They dont take themselves very seriously, but they do take their music and performance seriously. All three are extremely skilled musicians.

*: Javier's solo project Mestís is also amazing. Softer than AaL and heavily inspired by Spanish rhythms and melodies.

Thanks for the detailed write-up! I appreciate you taking the time to do that.

Physical Education was fun. I’ll definitely check them out a bit more.

I also checked out Mestís, too, as your description sounded really interesting. Gentle Giant didn’t do much for me but I really enjoyed Media Noche. I’ll be exploring this some more, too.

Physicist Education is amazing and one of their most catchy songs.

I didn't think one really needs to recommend any in particular to demonstrate their musical ability, they are all complex and impressive. And good! the technicality serves the music, not the other way round.
