Matmos

Time to bang on some pots and pans! Today our “Metallic Life Review” album comes out on Thrill Jockey records. First and foremost we are very grateful to .en.gardner Owen Gardner, Thor Harris, Jason Willett, Obie Feldi and Susan Alcorn (R.I.P.) for contributing sounds and performances, and giving their time and talent to this enterprise. Susan’s death is a loss to American music and we are simply grateful to have had the chance to collaborate. We are very grateful to Ted Mineo for his photography and collage skills, and to Rashad Becker for mastering, and to the whole Thrill Jockey crew for making this record possible. Not to slobber but we are really lucky to have help from talented people and we do not take it for granted. Thank you so much! We love getting to do this and we hope to see you soon as we tour this material for the next month across (what is left of) the United States (thanks to for organizing that part)

After quite a hardcore sequence of flights from Sydney to Los Angeles to Detroit to Baltimore, we are back home and about to turn the corner swiftly into the fall semester. The jetlag is intense, even psychedelic, and my body is very confused right now, but let me say this. We are hugely grateful to our friends and hosts in Australia who made that trip possible: Angus Andrew, Lawrence English, Andrew Tuttle and all at IMA and Phoenix Central Park. It was a huge gift to get to return after far too long away. Thank you!

hey friends! MATMOS will be performing in Sydney, Australia at the Essential Tremors festival at Phoenix Central Park on August 9th! We're on a bill with Sally Golding and Hantu and you have to get on the "ballot" for the strictly limited tickets. I will post the link below! Hope to see some friends down under- it's been a long time since we have performed there and we're super excited to have the chance to return!

ACHTUNG! TONIGHT! BERLIN! Matmos and the ferociously talented Weston Olencki on a bill together at KM28. We rarely play a purely improvised set so this is scary / unique / special so come thru. Would be good to see some friendly faces . . .

« O insupportable! O heavy hour / Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse / Of sun and moon, and that th’ affrighted globe / Should yawn at alteration. »
