Aug 21, 2020this is my introduction to the word of matmos, and it's a bloody heady one. the way this thing shifts and bends across tracks, across discs, is so impressive. as a collaboration between 99 musicians, it's harmony becomes even more miraculous. just a great listen.

Aug 25, 2020Given the album’s length and density, it resists close reading; if there is an organizing logic here, it is not readily apparent, although brushed drums and choppy vocal effects provide thematic through lines, and the occasional recurring motif lends a sense of narrative cohesion. But the music often unspools with natural ease.
