A crafty and cerebral electronic-music duo with rare reach beyond electronic-music borders, Matmos makes shifty, glitchy soundscapes that limp and strut. The group famously used samplings of surgery and various other medical procedures (liposuction!) on 2001’s A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure, and later set focus on such things as 19th-century battlefield hymns and “sonic portraits” of luminaries like Ludwig Wittgenstein, Larry Levan, and Patricia Highsmith.
