RUKUS head honcho Matador has finally unveiled his ambient/electronica masterpiece ‘Tuesday’ LP. The breathtaking 20-track LP pays tribute to Ireland’s idyllic vistas and includes indigenous birdsong, breaking waves and blustery storms; field recordings taken from his studio’s balcony mere meters from the water. Championed by some of the industry greats such as Richie Hawtin for home listening, ‘Tuesday’ shows off a plethora of new sounds and influences from the Irish native, as well as a tenacious dedication to his craft.
Harnessing field recordings from the untainted seascape, the album’s 20 cuts are replete with organic sentiment; from indigenous birdsong to breaking waves and blustery storms; each composition stimulates a period of reflection for the listener, serving as an intimate retreat from every-day noise. Founded on a love for the free-flowing progression of music and an authentic composition process, Tuesday is designed for start-to-finish listening and is available as a continuous mix.
Restless in his forward momentum and pursuit of news sounds, Matador’s tastemaker qualities and deep-rooted musicality are firmly on display in this compilation, as is his long-standing love affair for modular synthesizers and drum machines. Galvanized by sublime melodies and delicate percussion, the rich sonic tapestry is a compelling and thought-provoking study of life’s own soundtrack, capable of soothing, exciting and reinvigorating in equal measure. With an approximately three-hour runtime, the sonically entrancing album, in its entirety, stands as a firm testament to Lynch’s pioneering musical vision and artistic vibrancy.
