about
Boards of Canada-esque rocktronica, the laptop/bass duo's three mostly-instrumental albums have inspired a small, rabid following among electronic music fans and DJs across the country. (That includes former Can frontman Malcolm Mooney, who's been an occasional contributor to the group.) So file this track under "next level" on your iPod: M&D just recorded an EP's worth of propulsive dance music with lots of breathy singing, ravesploitation synths, and live drums. See why they calls themselves a band when they open for Kompakt's the Field at Great Scott. Boston Phoenix 2007 Matters & Dunaway are up to their necks in electronica, but is a very good kind of electronica that brings to mind M83 at times. Sweeping arrangements make songs such as "RNA" soar without sounding too over-produced. Meanwhile, "Memorial" features a darker mood along the lines of The Cure or Moby. Pop Matters 2006 Matters and Dunaway truly distinguish themselves from the bulk of the electronic acts that have purists so squeamish, they are, through and through, a live band. And a very good one at that. The Weekly Dig 2006 Vangelis meets the most Eno-esque moments of "The Unforgettable Fire". Grooves 2005 Multi-instrumentalists Thomas Gallagher and Andre Obin, have taken their heavy, dream-state electronica and pushed it further into well developed, cinematic themes. From passive 80s new wave - the perfect backdrop for a John Hughes remake - to sci-fi chase scenes and futuristic robot battles. Glide 2005
