Matmos

Electronic
Electronic

Matmos is a Electronic act. Their sound grew out of Acetone, Throbbing Gristle and 20 Jazz Funk Greats. Those roots explain a lot about how Matmos arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Autechre, Actress, Plaid, Jan Jelinek and Two Lone Swordsmen, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Björk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Matmos, reaching back through Acetone and forward to Björk.
