MISCELLANEES BISSEXTILES (2 Vinyls)

Description

Five years after the success of *Plates Coutures* and the colossal tour that followed, Matmatah returns with a sixth extraordinary album. The group shatters formats, breaks free from conventions, and thus finds itself delightfully compelled to release... a double album. After a writing process that came to an abrupt halt, the frustration of being suddenly separated for months forced the band into a radically different methodology where each member, individually, took the time to fully develop their ideas. When it was time to reunite, the compositions clashed, reorganized, and gave life to a chronicle: that of four unique years. Four years of musical experiences and unprecedented artistic collaborations that lend this album, entirely produced by the band itself, a broader spectrum of colors than ever before. As improbable as it may seem, the songs flow together beautifully. They resemble each other through their differences, like the children of a finally reunited family. They summarize and reveal everything that Matmatah is in 2023, from its roots to its touches of humor, from wordplay to the stakes of ailments, from autumnal love to spring allergies. A veritable profusion. And how can one not be carried away by 'Erlenmeyer'? A musical piece in its own right, the soundtrack to the ideal journey, from the center of the Earth to the confines of the cosmos. An atypical and unbridled work that brazenly opens the ball. So yes, this album is an odyssey, with jubilant freedom of writing and artistic carelessness. So yes, Matmatah is having even more fun, like kids. So yes, the band took its time, but did not lose it. So you too, take your time and immerse yourself in these 'Miscellanées Bissextiles'.
