Saltillo is the new project of Menton J. Matthews, better known to the world as Sunday Munich. This new CD, five years in the making, is the sound of loss, the struggle for solace, and illimitable beauty. An impressive multi-instrumentalist and soundtrack composer, on Ganglion Matthews play violin, cello, viola, paino, guitar, bass, banjo, and electronics. The end result is an immense sadness distilled into sound; echoing trip hop beats rolling over the sumptuous acoustic strings, downtuned piano notes punctuating the sparser arrangements. Surpassing the scope of Sunday Munich both in terms of technical production and pure cathartic emotion, Ganglion has refined Matthew's songwriting and the final product is immensely personal and essential. This is necessary music for fans of achingly honest and visceral trip hop.
(Parts are reminiscent of Requiem For A Dream strings by Khronos Quartet mixed with some phatty beats and ephemeral background vocals)
