The related initiatives Mattachine and Mikau have come collectively for a nasty new break up EP, and that EP is out at this time.

Before this new break up, Mattachine haven’t launched something since their hard-chugging 2020 debut EP Isolation As A Form Of Torture, and it’s nice to listen to them again in motion.

On the brand new break up Eject Modernity, Erase Tradition, Mattachine and Mikau contribute two songs apiece, and so they additionally come collectively on the unhinged collaborative observe “Unlucky Chanel.” We’ve posted that tune and Mikau’s “Offal Platter,” and now you possibly can stream the entire EP under.
