Matahara – SIDE
About a year and a half back and I was on this website claiming that Matahara had “a supremely bright future ahead of her” and even though you all came at my neck over it, I’m the one who’s come out on top. Egg and your face; they are as one. Matahara evidently went out of her way to vindicate me because this is no light step forward from her debut EP but a fairly substantial leap into something more buoyant. This is a shoe in for those with a sweet spot for those older Alpine records or more recent Superorganism cuts but neither reference is going to give you much indication of what’s going on here. The guitars are far fizzier than those we’ve heard previously and there’s a driving drum track courtesy of regular collaborator Tram Cops. While we’re talking Trammies, I do believe that’s his vocal we’re hearing on the track too by the by, sliced in delicately in the early chorus. Wonderful, weird record from an artist I’d be doing everything I could to try to sign if I still had my own lil label.
