The Velvet Underground

The Complete Matrix Tapes

October 30, 2015

Alternative/Indie Rock

Two nights and four sets in the career of one of America's most important rock bands, The Complete Matrix Tapes is an essential document for anyone interested in the Velvet Underground. Remixed and remastered from original tapes of a two-night San Francisco stand in 1969, this captures the band firing on all cylinders and in strong fidelity; it's easily the finest document of how this great band sounded on stage.

- Mark Deming

Disappears

Era

August 27, 2013

Alternative/Indie Rock

The band's first album with drummer Noah Leger, Era ushers in the striking minimalism that defined Disappears' later work, as well as the members' next project, Facs.
