Matmos - Plastic AnniversaryThe incomparable duo, Matmos, have done it again! Their new album, Plastic Anniversary, was created using only plastic. Highlighting the crises of convenience, the duo makes music from our refuse. True to form, the band have assembled a promiscuous array of examples of this sturdy yet ersatz family of materials: dominos, styrofoam coolers, police riot shields, polyethylene waste containers, PVC panpipes, pinpricks of bubble wrap, pills, silicone gel

meditative and genuinely lovely‰۝ - Uncut

They would not perform live again for three years

are currently both 19 years old

The simplified arrangements draw focus to the fundamental sophistication of the songs

new bassist Rosko Gee largely leads the group

it was only a few months later that David Bowie would declare them "the band of the future

breaking the previous sales record roughly ten times over

You could call them ‰ÛÏfiercely independent‰۝ but they don‰۪t seem fierce at all

Mr Salt Fingers Lovecraft and The Witherer have been joined by Quicksand on cutting board and cheese wire and commis chef Cheeks on vibes

What runs through the album’s two musical halves is a powerful sense of devotion and discovery

Much like fellow recluse Pynchon

Long-awaited and feverishly anticipated
