MATTIN – Songbook #6 LP

Description

Mattin is one of the coolest guys going. I love his total dedication to pushing boundaries, his ceaseless energy, and the fact that he thinks the Lou Reed/Metallic LP is the best album ever. This album sees him bring together a bunch of musicians (none of which I know but I’m sure have done stuff somewhere else) and make some cut-up-sounding (but not cut up) OUT-rock. I guess a lazy comparison would be Boredoms or maybe Buttholes at their most non-linear, but this doesn’t really sound like anyone, which is really what Mattin’s work is all about. Every so often they’ll hit upon a TUNE though that shows they’re not just fucking about. Ace.
