2016, please stop taking our musicians away. It was revealed yesterday that Michael Bell, one half of long-running post-rock/electronic duo Lymbyc Systym, passed away. Michael’s brother and bandmate Jared broke the news on Facebook:

Last week I lost my brother, my bandmate, my creative partner, Michael. I love him. I miss him. Thank you to everyone for listening, supporting and keeping his memory alive. He was so, so lucky to have all of you.

The Tempe, Arizona duo formed in 2001 and released music consistently all the way up through this year, when they put out the New Varieties EP. They also toured with Foxing earlier this year.

Rest in peace, Michael.
