Matmos - Plastic Anniversary (new LP 19/03/19, Thrill Jockey)

Matmos have announced a new album. 'Plastic Anniversary' is out March 15 via Thrill Jockey. The record celebrates the duo’s anniversary as a couple. It was also recorded using exclusively “sounds derived from plastic objects.” According to a press release, the 11-track album aims to explore “the world's relationship to plastic—a material whose durability, portability, and longevity, while heralded by its makers, are the very qualities that make it a force of environmental devastation.”

Tracklisting:

01 - Breaking Bread
02 - The Crying Pill
03 - Interior With Billiard Balls & Synthetic Fat
04 - Extending The Plastisphere to GJ237b
05 - Silicone Gel Implant
06 - Plastic Anniversary
07 - Thermoplastic Riot Shield
08 - Fanfare for Polyethylene Waste Containers
09 - The Singing Tube
10 - Collapse of the Fourth Kingdom
11 - Plastisphere

There will be a collector's edition coming out soon, too.  Not yet announced though for some reason (I asked the label for clarification)

Is it playable?

I'm not fixin to find out.  I think it's technically playable but that jagged cutout at the top of the record in that image is a missing layer with really sharp edges, so it probably wouldn't do good things.
