Our Take

Art-rock duo Matmos have always been known for pushing the boundaries of experimental music, and their latest album "The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises In Group Form" is no exception. From start to finish, this album is a wild and unpredictable journey through a sonic landscape that is both intense and mesmerizing.

The album kicks off with the track "Breaking Bread," a cacophonous blend of organic and synthetic sounds that sets the stage for what's to come. As the album progresses, Matmos take listeners on a rollercoaster ride of glitchy beats, eerie samples, and unexpected sonic detours.

One standout track is "Clouds Of Forgetting, Clouds Of Unknowing," which features haunting vocals layered over a bed of atmospheric synths. The track builds to a climax of chaotic percussion before fading into a dreamy, ethereal outro.

Throughout the album, Matmos showcase their unparalleled ability to make the strange and experimental sound accessible and even catchy at times. Tracks like "Exhortation," with its infectious groove and quirky instrumentation, are sure to get stuck in your head long after you've finished listening.

Overall, "The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises In Group Form" is a triumph of experimental music that will delight fans of avant-garde sounds. Matmos continue to push the envelope with their unique blend of creativity and technical prowess, making this album a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.
