Collect-Call is an apartment-run vinyl/tape label based out of Montreal. At the start of the month, the Canadian imprint released Mattlack‘s L.I.F cassette album, an analog-driven collection of left-field house jams. Spread across nine tracks, the album traverses through minimalistic drum workouts, gritty and textural long-form journeys, and other raw oddities, all stamped with Mattlack’s machine work. Opening the album perfectly is “43a,” a deep and delicate cut that features gorgeous swaying pads, muted, drum-machine percussion, and an STL-like dubby swagger. Mattlack and Collect-Call have offered up “43a” as a free download below, with the full album available over at the Collect-Call Bandcamp page.
