Release Blurb :
As a young person I frequently heard tales that high-end stereo shops used Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ as a demonstration disc, in order to fully document the prowess of their impossibly-expensive wares.
I rarely frequented any of these
establishments but always took these stories on faith. I’m no
audio guru, but it seems to me that someone attempting to do the same
thing in 2019 could do a whole lot worse than adopting USA/Mexico’s
long-awaited 2nd album, ‘Matamoros’ for similar purposes.
The trio’s first album 2017’s ‘Laredo’ might’ve been a
worthy candidate for a test-spin in the Bang & Olufsen showroom,
but the successor is the sort of record that really makes if you’re
the sort of person who can appreciate the BACKES MÜLLER BM 100
loudspeaker (list price $500,000.00 USD)
Once you’re comfortably settled in,
you’ll find that the all-star team of guitarist Craig Clouse (Shit
& Shine) drummer King Coffey (Butthole Surfers) and Nate Cross
(Marriage, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth) have done everything
possible to help you expand your sonic palette — some might say
they’ve even done too much! Either way, these guys are as unselfish
as they are loud. Or perhaps they’re as selfish as they’re
quiet — i do hope you’ll agree their motives are less important
than the results, and in this instance, those results are nothing less
than a staggering sensory overload.
George Dishner (Spray Paint) and Kevin
Whitley (Cherubs — on a rendition of his band’s “Shoofly”, as
previously heard on 1992’s ‘Icing’) make cameos. The
entire affair was engineered by budding genius Ian Runndell (he of
every other great record recorded in Austin) and is available
via the 12XU and Riot Season record labels in North American and
UK/Europe respectively.
