| | catmobile press release... |
| randomnumber is the alias of musician matt robson, based in catmobile's home town of leeds, uk. 'towards the forlorn society' is his debut full-length, and at just under an hour, it's an epic, emotive work. matt realises more fully the depth of a style that has been maturing and progressing since his early noise-core releases on ffr records and his critically acclaimed work for both rocket racer (tristeza, accelera deck etc) and mogwai's rock action imprint (the latter received dance single of the week in the nme). from the furious rhythmic intensity of 'the instances' and 'if it escapes and gets out, then what do you do?' to the more brooding, melancholy tracks like 'still treading the same lanes as last year' and 'all things become history', randomnumber has imbued his music with an astounding level of humanity, soul and emotion.
although his music is primarily driven by layers of intricate beats, it also incorporates finely-tuned melodies rarely heard in the genre. randomnumber looks set to establish his music and his ideal as a lofty standard to which contemporaries can only try and emulate.
as randomnumber, matt has toured the uk with cex and kid606, played in the usa and mexico, and shared stages with such luminaries as dntel, knifehandchop, donna summer and dj /rupture. in a past musical life, he played drums for coping saw, rauschen and, most notably, hood, and now contributes beats - both programmed and manual - to exploratory quartet sierpinski (who's album is soon to be released by rocket racer). his contributions to all these projects have actually earned him an entry in the virgin encyclopedia of rock! |
