Matchess
Seraphastra
Vinyl only release limited to 300 copies - comes w/download. Originally released on an extremely limited cassette by the Digitalis label, the album makes a welcome debut to the vinyl format. Matchess is the solo project of Whitney Johnson, singer & keyboardist for Chicago band Verma. Johnson's minimalist sensibility owes as much to the Berlin school as it does to early industrial & minimal synth pioneers like Throbbing Gristle & Cabaret Voltaire. Matchess places Johnson in league with counterparts like Zola Jesus & Liz Harris (Grouper), carrying the torch of female experimental & electronic musicians in the 21st century.
