Originally released in 2003 on heavyweight 150g vinyl, The Civil War by Matmos (Martin Schmidt & Drew Daniel) fuses Americana with glitch and experimental electronica.
Through textured compositions—sampling everything from acoustic guitars and hurdy-gurdies to banjos and field recordings—the album constructs a surreal, yet evocative sound world. It’s a conceptually rich LP that redefines folk motifs through an avant-garde electronic lens, noted for track titles like "Regicide" and a transformative take on “The Stars And Stripes Forever.”
