Matthew Robson played drums in extraordinary indie/experimental electronic band Hood (guesting on one track of their recent album and touring with them). Apparently their split was quite acrimonious, but the Leeds-based musician has recently graced us with two superb releases as randomnumber. One is a four track EP called the fact that i did on Glasgow indie-post-rockers Mogwai’s Rock Action Records, cut-up drum’n'bass and suchlike of the experimental idm variety; the other is a mini-album called i understand your date and time of nowhere on US indie label Rocket Racer (definitely a label to watch). It’s very understated but very good indeed. Anyone who knows Hood and particularly their side-projects Downpour and The Remote Viewer (link broken, discog here) should know what to expect. I’m loving it. And the packaging on the Rocket Racer EP is very cool, with spray-painted CD case and two different types of sandpaper inside (yes, true!)
