Matto Grosso – Blanco perfecto (2011)



  • Noise rock 
  • Hardcore 
  • Alternative rock 
  • Indie rock 
  • Post-punk 
  • Math rock

Comment: Matto Grosso is a collective from Santiago De Compostela, Spain whose 13-notch issue is a powerful blend of hardcore, noise rock, and post-punk. Some lyrics are in Spanish, some in English. By listening to these tracks one can perceive a certain sort of buildup within the quartet`s music – it frequently starts off in technical way, even mathematical sort of relations between instruments can be found out from there. However, many tracks will finally burst into noise torrents with apocalyptic echoes and primal bluesy energy of rock and roll. Yeah, it is a sophisticated and straightforward rock music example at the same time. It makes difference, it makes sense due to the combo's wise planning and impressive energy behind it. At times one can perceive similarities with the likes of Sonic Youth, and The Fall (more remarkably, at Positive). Stunning.

Matthew Collings – EICV7" No.104 (2015)

  • Chamber music

  • Alternative

Comment: this handful of compositions is a consistent blend of rough electro-acoustic, rugged chamber music, and more sublime ambient and volatile electronic progressions. Musically it is intriguing to listen to it because electronic music is seamlessly mixed up with sounds of natural instruments. For charlatans I guess it would be a good fare to describe their view of outer space through the aforementioned elements, of how masculine and feminine genuine/primal matter will meet each other, of how energy will have been lead in a proper way. They might be right, by the way. You can not wave off odds and ends within it because it is the main ingredient to lift the whole up to the next level. A Smashed Up World is the final issue on it and being the right choice for it. The composition will expand epically due to fine-grained glitches and the dense orchestrated drone which is going upwards again and again. The outing is a mote in the discography of EverythingIsChemical.
