If you aren't already, it's time to follow The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle on Tumblr — his blog is as witty and entertaining as one might expect, and he updates it fairly frequently. In particular, it was interesting to see him recently post a photo of a very young version of himself at a Nick Cave show. It turns out he's quite the Cave fan, and that seeing The Bad Seeds play on the tour in question was quite the formative experience on both Darnielle himself and on [...]

After having released an EP of "psychic" music, Matmos are back with even more expansive results on their latest full-length, and talk to PopMatters about sensory deprivation, Buzzcocks covers, and how they managed to make this album despite not really being musicians ... In the world of music, the term experimental carries a meaning so broad and vague as to be almost useless, a catchall to describe the unpopular regions of any given genre -- jazz, rock, classical, EDM -- form or context not mattering as much a vague sense of seriousness and difficulty. In that sense, Matmos are [...]

Matmos - Very Large Green Triangles Very Large Green Triangles, from the Ganzfeld EP, is also on the latest Matmos album The Marriage of True Minds.

By Matt Jones March 22, 2013 Everything is hipster. Thick-rimmed glasses are hipster. Old things are hipster. Bands not in the mainstream are hipster. Mainstream bands are hipster – if you like them ironically. This opening stream of consciousness is hipster, clearly a rip-off of a King Missile song – who, by the way, are hipster. My first impression of Matmos - the band perched on the stage in the Shoreditchian palace of hipster, XOYO - is that they are the three kings of [...]

Amplifer Echo Street Kscope 11 March 2013 by Tom Gibbons A couple of years ago Amplifier's The Octopus double-album shifted a fair few copies and filled venues , largely because it was a great rock record, and Amplifier retain their refined, grandiose sound for Echo Street . Aside from the polished production, the Manchester group’s latest album bears little resemblance to its predecessor, and lacks its inventive song-writing and [...]

[ Thrill Jockey ] Matmos' latest album is named after a line from a Shakespeare sonnet, but it sounds, to my ears, like an echo of someone uttering the phrase "I am of two minds" about something - probably Matmos themselves, who are a great band as far as talking points go, but more equivocal in other regards. There's an ambivalence shadowing their work: [...]

The breadth of new 2013 music releases - albums, EPs and singles - that have been coming out in recent weeks, and those set to drop in the ensuing months, have been keeping us very busy, especially when you factor in all of the DIY releases that we receive on a weekly basis, which are [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Matmos drop new remix. Matmos have released a new remix of the song, "Aetheric Vehicle", which appears on their latest album, The Marriage of True Minds, out now through Thrill Jockey records. This...
The word "weird" has so many negative connotations, though it's an apt (and 100% positive) label to toss at the San Francisco-turned-Baltimore electronic duo Matmos . Masterminds M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel twisted heads right out the door with their 1998 self-titled debut by sampling the nerve activity of crayfishes (!), and once listeners became desensitized to that, they induced vomiting with recordings of bonesaws and other effects related to liposuction on 20012s near-perfect A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure . Over the past decade, they've dialed things down a notch - their collaborations alongside Björk [...]
