New Matmos Album (C/D)

::presses finger to temple and smiles while beaming out positive opinions of album::

haha

It's The Marriage of True Minds, of course, though the error is excusable because well, the A's got the triangular shape and all...

Got the double LP and it sounds so great through headphones.

"very large green triangles" could be on musick to play in the dark 2

'Teen Paranormal Romance' is so so good. As is the rest of it. Seeing them tomorrow!!!!11

Not playing the Netherlands :-(
Have fun merdeyeux

I like it.

completely inexplicable that the mental ragabilly-Boredoms go glam thing of 'ESP' somehow works.

THAT WAS AMAZING. so much fun. though after the opening triangle spiel i feel i've been inducted into my second cult in four days. but i quite like this one.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I thought I saw someone who looked like a Merdeyeux, but there were an awful lot of ilx-lookin' people there and I didn't want to come across as even weirder than I actually am by approaching a complete stranger.

there were certainly a lot of me-lookin' people in attendance, it would've been v risky.

Was a fantastic show. I got overexcited during 'ESP' and whooped too loud before it finished.

lately I've been vaguely considering getting a tattoo but with no real ideas of what, but Drew's Acéphale tattoo has got me thinkin...

this is fucking incredible

off the chain progbeat dancenoise mayhem. in fact as close to genreless as anything I've heard recently

but the main thing is that the compositions have substance - they go somewhere, they keep me excited, they are both eloquent & forceful

this is fucking incredible

wasn't sure which thread to bump for this, but i noticed that Matmos put together a top ten ubuweb list! check it out on the right side of the screen at http://www.ubu.com/ for the links to the actual pieces, but here's the list for those that simply refuse to view in a new tab:

9. Mark Leckey Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore
10. Call Jeff One Lonely Guy

lol at the author of the subsequent top ten list

v much looking forward to hearing new material at cafe oto over the next two nights. anyone else going?

Sadly not. Can't really afford London at the moment. They were so good last time, though, arrrrgh.

booo. i'll let you know how terrible it is.

i'm also tempted by the afterparty w/ live soft pink truth set, but i have naebdy to go with me and the club night (https://www.facebook.com/events/322411214574833/) looks tbh way too hip for it to be the kind of place where i could feel comfortable hanging out alone...

oh man

if I'd known about this I'd totally have gone

"Recorded in the basement studio of their home in Baltimore, the album is constructed entirely out of the sounds generated by a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II model washing machine."

reads like parody, yet somehow still gets me excited to hear it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the rose has teeth in the mouth of the bosch

"The clothes have bleach", surely?

Snippet sounds fucking awesome, btw.

this is great

lol emil.y

yeah excerpt sounded great, I'd happily dance to it

finding the cover image quite unsettling but can't articulate why

looking forward to this texturally because washing machines make great sounds. i'm already planning on making a 130bpm club edit of that track.

cover image looks like rearranged cross section of human bladder + genitalia - top rorschach imagery from the matmos men

Stoked for the madness.

What do you need to play a washing machine? Arm and hammer.

looking forward to this texturally because washing machines make great sounds. i'm already planning on making a 130bpm 700 rpm club edit of that track.

Also, they should get Toploader to do a remix

very surprised at the lack of Hurra Torpedo references
looking forward to hearing this

Just recently got a turntable after slowly collecting vinyl for a while, and my 2xLP of Rose Has Teeth... is the best-sounding one so far. Killer album.

Can't wait to give this a spin

New album is fantastic. Side 1 is dreamier, with a lot more water gushing and flushing. Second half of Side 2 is this very intense percussion suite. The last five seconds of the record is a really cool moment, don't want to spoil it. Great review in Spin by Ray Cummings: http://www.spin.com/2016/02/review-matmos-ultimate-care-ii/

on WFMU, Ira the K[aplan] just mashed up his live vacuuming of the studio floor with the new Matmos.

saw them perform the album in february with the washing machine on stage, show of the year

Matmos and Juxtavoices in session
Experimental electronic duo Matmos and 'anti-choir' Juxtavoices meet for a very exciting collaboration.

On top of their ten excellent studio albums, Matmos are known for their numerous collaborations with Bjork. However, this Late Junction collaboration session is with a group they've never met before - Juxtavoices, the improvising 'anti-choir' from Sheffield. Add to that the collaborative powers of an everyday Ultimate Care II washing machine and some wine glasses, and you get something a bit special.

just got the reissue of Wide Open Spaces, a record Matmos made with Wobbly and People Like Us in 2002. it's really great. I think there might be some copies left: http://www.discrepant.net/products/608404-people-like-us-matmos-wobbly-wide-open-spaces

the show I saw last week had at least one track that they introduced as from the new record (though maybe modified live), the rest seemed like a mixture of older work and tracks specifically for the live set. had a wonderful time!
