2006, Matador
The latest from hyper-innovative SF-based duo Matmos consists of ten aural and visual portraits of famous people such as Valerie Solanas (shot Andy Warhol), Larry Levan ('80s NYC dance DJ), Darby Crash (singer of punk group The Germs), King Ludwig II (mad, last ruler of Bavaria), James Bidgood ('60s gay porn director), William S. Burroughs (beat author), and many more. Accompanying each musical portrait is a visual one, commissioned by the band, by artists ranging from Dan Clowes to Adam Ansell to Jason Mecier. The ten portraits are printed on cardstock and arranged in a die-cut digipak with a front window. On the back of each card is detailed recording information. Various accompanists include Antony of Antony & The Johnsons, The Kronos Quartet, Bjork, Jay Lesser, and more.
