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.― expertly crafted referential display name (Jordan)

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.

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/

Matmos and Juxtavoices in sessionExperimental 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.

I remember having a minidisc recording of this shortly after they performed it. I think I captured it off an audio stream or something at the time. Or maybe they made it available as MP3s?

Still need to give the new one a whirl. But that's at least three albums out from the Matmos household this year, it's tough to keep up!

Feel like Plastic Anniversary was slept on, unless there's another thread talking about it somewhere? It's a great record.

I still didn't pass through the first CD, but quite enjoying it.Some of their best compositions since 'the marriage of true minds'.

New interview with the boys about their new album "The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises in Group Form"
I have yet to hear it, but it sounds like Negativland + The Books + Matmos in style, featuring artists as diverse as Yo La Tengo, OPN, clipping., Max Tundra and many others, including former art students from the (now closed) SF Art Institute
Basic parameters: freeform arrangements of contributions from 99 artists performed at 99bpm. Results are three 1 hour long tracks (so 3CD release). In the interview they describe it more of as a mixtape. Lots of sampled words, conversations etc. Seems really intriguing.

uh, not a new interview. and I'm now realizing this came out in August (loosely mentioned indirectly above). Fail.

Was the live show from the new album?
― Are you addicted to struggling with your horse? (Boring, Maryland), Monday, 22 April 2024 21:55 (one month ago) link
One track was specifically drawing on a lot of those Smithsonian samples but it might have been a wholly new creation for the set.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 03:00 (one month ago) link
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!
