free download: Matthew Collings live at Pilrig St. Paul’s Church

In April we suggested you get thee to the church on May 19, where Tim Hecker, Wounded Knee and Matthew Collings were performing live. If you did not heed, you have a second chance to hear. Recorded by Clive Mitchell and mixed by the artist, Collings’ set comprised the following tracks:

“Stills” (0:00)
“Everything you love will end up on the breeze” (8:43)
“Routine” (12:30)
Elysia (parts 3 and 4) (18:38)

Writing for The List, Niel Cooper reports, “Collings’ hit the ground running approach lends weight, purpose and propulsion to his still controlled display of mood-led widescreen sound-shards…. At times the electronic stabs gallop along like a po-mo spaghetti western, at others, synthesised zithers and horns come on like a deconstructed noir as played by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.”

We’ll catch you next time around, Matthew. (Especially if it’s in Dallas.) Great stuff.
