Longtime listeners/short term readers how freaky Think Pink Radio is about Matmos. With May 6th, the release date for their new record fast approaching, little trickles of mp3’s have been digitally making way for excitement and pants peeing. Supreme Balloon being an entire album made from synthesizers, it’s bound to be great headphones music, carnivals, psychedelic BBQ’s, and traveling. Thankfully, Drew Daniel and MC Schmidt are web savvy enough to be ok with people already having some of the songs. Stereogum has “Unbeliever,” a track that will be a B-side or on an import version or something (you can get it if you subscribe to their newsletter), meanwhile “Rainbow Flag” is available on Matador’s Matmos page, and “Polychords” is one of the tracks on the new Matador MP3 sampler “Intended Play: Spring 2008″. You can get “Polychords” below and “Supreme Balloon” at the previous post but as a courtesy, head over to Stereogum for that B-side, buy Supreme Balloon from Matador, and support their upcoming tour. Dates after the jump.
