Hype sticker affixed to shrinkwrap on back:
"In 1948, Moses Asch founded Folkways Records with a self-proclaimed mandate to record the sounds of the entire world. From the Sounds of North American Frogs to Speech after the Removal of the Larynx, Folkways documented the audible nooks and crannies of existence on hundreds of LPs produced by field recordists, scientists, and experimentalists.
Seventy-five years later, electronic music duo MATMOS have diced, looped, stretched, and recontextualized these recordings on their new album RETURN TO ARCHIVE. Dolphins, beetles, telephones, humans stretching the limits of their vocal cords, a shortwave radio, metal machinery, and countless other sources comingle in a fantasia of sound both everyday and extraordinary.
Each track on RETURN TO ARCHIVE morphs its source material into something completely unesxpected, honoring and expanding on Folkways' legacy of sonic exploration. Featuring Evicshen and Aaron Dilloway."
