this is a magnificently murky and rum-sodden collection of 11 traditional and original songs from an 11 piece band who defy easy categorization. not many bands would have the courage to embrace this staggering range of songs or manage them with such enthusiasm and skill. but be advised, 'matachin' is not for the faint hearted. there are no whimsical maidens or gentle stories of love gone wrong. instead you'll get dragged along on an exhilarating journey filled with cholera, whiskey, the high-seas and the cold war. a truly collaborative affair, 'matachin' is a self-produced album, which also bares the distinctive stamp of each of its highly accomplished band members. 'matachin' is the follow-up to bellowhead%u2019s debut album, 'burlesque' (westpark) which was praised to the rafters on release in 2006 and became one of the guardian's 'top 1000 albums to listen to before you die'.
