   About Matmos
Matmos is M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel, aided and abetted by many others. In their recordings and live performances over the last nine years, Matmos have used the sounds of: amplified crayfish nerve tissue, the pages of bibles turning, a bowed five string banjo, slowed down whistles and kisses, water hitting copper plates, the runout groove of a vinyl record, a $5.00 electric guitar, liposuction surgery, cameras and VCRs, chin implant surgery, contact microphones on human hair, violins, rat cages, tanks of helium, violas, human skulls, cellos, peck horns, tubas, cards shuffling, field recordings of conversations in hot tubs, frequency response tests for defective hearing aids, a steel guitar recorded in a sewer, electrical interference generated by laser eye surgery, whoopee cushions and balloons, latex fetish clothing, rhinestones on a dinner plate, Polish trains, insects, ukelele, aspirin tablets hitting a drum kit from across the room, dogs barking, people reading aloud, life support systems and inflatable blankets, records chosen by the roll of dice, an acupuncture point detector conducting electrical current through human skin, rock salt crunching underfoot, solid gold coins spinning on bars of solid silver, the sound of a frozen stream thawing in the sun, a five gallon bucket of oatmeal.

"savvy weirdness and wonderful tunes ... this champion of experimental noise and classic pop unites both on a debut album that bypasses the Norwegian space disco of label co-owner Hans-Peter Lindstrøm 4/5" - Spin

"pretty much unprecedented ... Leone takes musical hairpin turns with such mischievous glee that you can visualize the Road Runner blithely zipping across jagged mountain highways as Wile E. Coyote tumbles off cliff after cliff ... cartoony and chaotic and perversely cute" - Village Voice

"a leftfield-pop classic ... unexpected transitions, unusual electronic embellishments, and melodies of unearthly beauty and intrigue ... 9/10 + staff pick" - XLR8R

"I'm happy that music like this is being made. More than a promising
debut, Dominique Leone is one of the best releases of the year" - Dusted

"this debut is awesome because it really does sound like the midpoint
between the Beatles and the Boredoms" - CMJ

Glowing cat clones created

What was the weirdest science story of the past year? Well, have you heard the one about the South Korean scientists who transferred genes into cloned cat embryos so that they glowed red under ultraviolet light? That tale was the top vote-getter in our unscientific ballot for the 2008 Weird Science Awards - but there's a serious point behind the glowing kitties. Such alterations may be used in the future to correct genetic flaws. Click "Next" for the nine other award-winners.

In the song "Zealous Order Of Candied Knights".
I can hear this hidden message in it.
It goes something like this:
"Favour, Favour, Do yourself a Favour" etc.
Is that just my interpretation?
Or is it on purpose?
Or is it both?

Hi M.C. and Drew !

Would you be amused by a guitar playing tuned ducks over a jumping duck bass topped with a goose snare ?
