matmos - ultimate care II

new matmos album coming in october!

from thrill jockey press release:

Recorded in the basement studio of
their home in Baltimore, the album is constructed entirely out of the sounds
generated by a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II model washing machine. Like its
namesake, the album runs across its variations as a single, continuous thirty
eight minute experience that starts with the grinding turn of the wash size
selection wheel, and ends with the alert noise that signals that the wash is done.

sounds about 100x more interesting than the last album they put out ,looking forward to it. Supreme Balloon is my current fave

A couple of weeks ago, I spent 2 hours trying to fix my ultimate care 2 washing machine. I took it all apart to replace the drive coupler, really struggled to put it back together and then, sure enough, it was still broken when I tried to turn it on. I knew it was a bad to have pieces left over but I took it apart kind of quickly. Lesson learned.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one.

this is gonna be awesome

sounds good!

I keep coming back

Amazing album! My favorite of 2016 so far. Y'all need to get on this.

grabbed this from Bleep the other day. i like it a lot. i'm looking forward to getting a listen to it all in one sitting.

Need to get this.. used to love Matmos but not kept up with their stuff for last few years.

Listened to a chance to cut.. the other day and had forgot how awesome it was. After listening to that checked out some bits from this and was very impressed but haven't got round to getting it yet

this album is amazing

Damn, I love how this ends. Beastly

also: go see them play live if you have the chance.

i heard they will be bringing the original washing machine to their shows this tour btw

Got this now.. really good! Must catch up with the Matmos stuff I've missed, sort of lost track of them after Rose has teeth for some reason
