Return To Archive (LP)
Matmos
Amoeba Review
Matmos' Return to Archive is a monumental work of art. The album consists of non-musical sounds originally released on the Folkways label, essentially chopped and screwed from their origins as field recordings of beetle, metal balers, and shortwave radio into crunchy, experimental, electronic music. It's a little weird and a little wild listening as animal noises morph into industrial-influenced, glitched-out tracks. It's also deeply cool, with surprises around each sonic bend.
