Matching Mole

Robert Wyatt started this project following his tenure with Soft Machine, selecting a title derived from the French phrase for his prior ensemble. The album navigates between tender, ivory-keyed compositions and frantic, unrestrained playing that challenges conventional rock structures.

Captured within the Canterbury circle, the project radiates the volatile, questing spirit prevalent during 1972. It plays like an unrehearsed dialogue among jazz-inclined players, merging sophisticated dexterity with a direct, rough-hewn wit.
