The Thermals - Now We Can See

Ok kids, Matmos are playing at the Aladdin Theatre on Wednesday July 9th [this Wednesday!] in support of their album ‘Supreme Balloon’ and the Moose has a pair of tickets to give away. Send an email to info[at]pampelmoose.com with the answer to the following question - Name the LP/CD of a 2003 Matmos release. And hurry, the show’s on Wednesday….

Matmos - Rainbow Flag

Rearrangerologyistics is the anomalous musical pop of Jordan Blum, an ecstatic revelation, an exalting singular upbeat and revealing half hour of music, where instruments weave in and out of falsetto vocals acting as golden anchors. All told, the album is the most complete work to date for Dykeritz, the latest in a line of 14 albums beginning at the age of 13. Bordering on jubilant, teetering on bizarre, the album is an aurally sprawling experimental pop masterpiece with moments sometimes akin to the instrumentation of the Zombies, the vocals of the Bee Gees, and the arrangements of Animal Collective.
