Matching Mole

Musical Group

English progressive rock band formed in 1971 by Robert Wyatt after leaving Soft Machine; best known for the albums Matching Mole and Little Red Record and for combining Canterbury-style prog with jazz and experimental elements.

Line-up around the two studio albums included Robert Wyatt (vocals/drums), Phil Miller (guitar), Bill MacCormick (bass), Dave MacRae and David Sinclair (keyboards); Little Red Record features contributions from Brian Eno (synthesizers) and production involvement from Robert Fripp.

Three DeBaser reviews praise Matching Mole's lyrical, experimental jazz-rock and vocal experimentation by Robert Wyatt. Critics highlight intricate arrangements, Dadaist touches and collaborations with Brian Eno and Robert Fripp. The band's two principal studio albums (Matching Mole, Little Red Record) are considered essential within the Canterbury/prog-jazz milieu.

For:Fans of the Canterbury scene, progressive rock, jazz-rock, and Robert Wyatt followers.

 Gentle, intricate, and graceful jazz-rock vanguard that glides away light and frothy, like champagne poured on white marble.
