Matmos – “Ultimate Care II Excerpt Three” Video
Insanely specific and thorough concept duo Matmos, is back with another awesomely weird video off their latest washing machine-themed album Ultimate Care II. They shared a video for “Ultimate Care II Excerpt Five” just before the end of last year. Today they have given “Ultimate Care II Excerpt Three” a matching set of visuals continuing their methodical approach to their concept. The video is even stranger than the last, but it perfectly matches the glitchy, ambient computer blips that seem to lack any kind of time signature or rhythm. Disjointed images of washing machines overlayed with anything from snakes to Paul Frank monkeys quickly cut to people urinating in washers and dryers with very brief nudity. I’m not sure if there is a niche for quirky laundromat urine fetishes, but if there is, this is the perfect video. Check it out below.
Ultimate Care II is out 2/19 on Thrill Jockey. Pre-order it here.
