Our Take
Our Take
Matching Mole's self-titled debut album on white vinyl is like stumbling upon a hidden gem at your local record store. The band, formed by former Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt, serves up a delightful mix of art rock, jazz fusion, and avant-garde experimentation that is as mesmerizing as it is bewildering.
From the opening track "O Caroline" with its haunting vocals and intricate instrumentation, to the closing notes of "Part of the Dance" that leave you questioning what just happened, Matching Mole takes you on a wild ride through Wyatt's musical mind.
The album's production is raw and unpolished, giving it a charming DIY quality that is both endearing and refreshing. Each track feels like a sonic adventure, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on your toes.
While some may find Matching Mole's sound challenging and inaccessible, those willing to dive in will be rewarded with a truly unique listening experience. This is music that demands your attention, and once you give in, you'll find yourself coming back for more.
In a world full of cookie-cutter pop stars and formulaic hits, Matching Mole stands out as a bold and fearless exploration of what music can be. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Matching Mole take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist
Matching Mole
Ah, Matching Mole. The band that famously took their name from a French translation mishap of Soft Machine. Led by the incomparable Robert Wyatt, they were a force to be reckoned with in the 70s progressive rock scene. Wyatt's distinctive voice, combined with his unique drumming style, set Matching Mole apart from their contemporaries. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1972, showcased their experimental sound and garnered critical acclaim. However, their success was short-lived. After just two albums, internal conflicts led to the band's demise. But the legacy of Matching Mole lives on, with their influence still felt in the world of avant-garde music. Wyatt's solo career has only solidified his status as a musical genius. From his hauntingly beautiful covers of classic songs to his politically charged original compositions, Wyatt's work continues to captivate audiences around the world. Matching Mole may not have had the longevity of some of their peers, but their impact on the music world cannot be understated. So, if you find yourself in need of some truly innovative sounds, look no further than Matching Mole. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
