You can read a preview of The Archanoids written by Joshua Morrison at Fine Arts LA. Shana Nys Dambrot of flavorpill says, “Mathew Timmons is a hard-core collaborator with no regard for traditional boundaries when it comes to mixing media and even entire genres. … Listen, speak, repeat as necessary.”

Pleonasm Music, the net-label run by Christian Cummings, is an independent musical community of uncategorizable avant-weird living room minstrels par excellence and will release a free downloadable selection of tracks from the album.
