Description
As a young person I frequently heard tales that high-end stereo shoppes used Pink Floyds Dark Side Of The Moon as a demonstration disc, in order to fully document the prowess of their impossibly-expensive wares.
I rarely frequented any of these establishments but always took these stories on faith. Im no audio guru, but it seems to me that someone attempting to do the same thing in 2019 could do a whole lot worse than adopting USA/Mexicos long-awaited 2nd album, Matamoros for similar purposes. The trios first album 2017s Laredo mightve been a worthy candidate for a test-spin in the Bang and Olufsen showroom, but the successor is the sort of record that really makes if youre the sort of person who can appreciate the BACKES MLLER BM 100 loudspeaker (list price $500,000.00 USD)
Once youre comfortably settled in, youll find that the all-star team of guitarist Craig Clouse (Shit & Shine) drummer King Coffey (Butthole Surfers) and Nate Cross (Marriage, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth) have done everything possible to help you expand your sonic palette some might say theyve even done too much! Either way, these guys are as unselfish as they are loud. Or perhaps theyre as selfish as theyre quiet i do hope youll agree their motives are less important than the results, and in this instance, those results are nothing less than a staggering sensory overload.
George Dishner (Spray Paint) and Kevin Whitley (Cherubs on a rendition of his bands Shoofly, as previously heard on 1992s Icing) make cameos. The entire affair was engineered by budding genius Ian Rundell (he of every other great record recorded in Austin) and is available via the 12XU and Riot Season record labels in North American and UK/Europe respectively.
