not what it is - what it isn't


If you were to walk into a room and hear Mattress with absolutely no reference you would assume someone had broken the speakers or the radio player was tuned to static. However, if one was to listen a little closer you would discover a lot more emerging from the noise. Bluesy soul melodies played through heavy distorted grinding beats with filtered vocals slowly wash you over. You can't avoid the hypnotic bass slowly shaking away your aversion. Once the music abruptly stops you will find more conventional rock music a little unsatisfying. I can't explain the effect of this primal drone, but despite it's electronic tag this is truly organic music.
