Matt Bower & Mattin - A New Form Of Beauty

Basque noise expert Mattin has undoubtedly found his blood brother in Matthew Bower, the British godfather of noise-rock. In his Theses on Noise (2006) Mattin wrote: “the old conception of Noise was to believe in freedom; the new conception of Noise is to achieve freedom”. This is noise with a higher aim, this is noise as utopian ideal. Using guitars and electronics, Mattin and Bower mould a relentlessly pounding tsunami of sound. No time to catch your breath in this long, thundering tornado of noise, feedback, distortion and screaming strings. A screeching guitar occasionally lifts its head above the whirling maelstrom. Ghostlike sounds rise towards the surface of this sonic mass.”A New Form Of Beauty (1975)' is packed in beautiful new 'envelope' packaging designed and handprinted by Jason Dodge & Christine Roland.
