Matmos have announced a new album, ‘Plastic Anniversary’, which has been created using only samples of sounds made by plastic objects. This follows their last album, ‘Ultimate Care II’, which was composed entirely from the sound of a washing machine.

The anniversary of the title is that of Matmos duo Drew Daniel and MC Schmidt as a couple, while the plastic part – they say – references a different relationship: that between the world and plastic.

By using discarded plastic to make the record, they highlight the material’s benefits – durability, portability and longevity – which also happen to be its negatives, in terms of its impact on the environment.

‘Plastic Anniversary’ is set for release on 15 Mar. Watch a trailer here:
