The thing about PC Music is, “music” is in their name, so you always have to consider that they’re going to be releasing music in one form or another.

Matmos announce Plastic Anniversary, which is, OF COURSE, an album made entirely out of plastic
As it wont to happen when you’re a couple, M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel — the inseparable-forever (hopefully!) duo known as Matmos — like DOING STUFF together.
But of course, they don’t just like doing ANY OLD stuff together; they like doing rather absurdly high-concept stuff together — e.g. 2016’s

Mitski continues to Be the Cowboy, wrangles spring tour of the southern-est places on earth
I can’t even blame this on a spontaneous boycott of all non-TMT publications, since we’ve been covering her for a couple of years now, but I’ve been totally oblivious to the burgeoning popularity that’s undoubtedly come with each new Mitski full-length.

Xiu Xiu’s new album, Girl with Basket of Fruit, coming in February
Misery knows no borders, no bounds. An overbearing sense of malaise and its malcontents are the new norm. It’s as if the basic machinations of nation-states are crumbling before our very eyes. Our Faith, privately, collectively, torn apart. Could there ever be a more perfect juncture for a new Xiu Xiu album?

Lee Gamble to release enormous three-part album, er…documentary…or trio…or something? on Hyperdub
Oh Lee Gamble, what will you think of next? Why can’t you just stay in your box? So many people are happy with the bloodstained title of “UK Producer.” Why not you? Whomever you are trying to impress, are your brilliantly glitchy records under 45 minutes and your mindbending record label not enough for them?

Socrates, upon finding a seashell:
Yes. A paltry object, just something I found as I was walking [on the very edge of the sea. I was following an endless shore. This is not a dream I am telling you.] It was the origin of a thought divided, of itself, between constructing and knowing.
