Opaque couché wins “the title of ‘World’s Ugliest Color.” So why did MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO name its fantastic new album Opaque Couché? “I wanted to do a title based around a particular color, so I wanted to give opaque couché a chance since it’s not black or white,” explains MBM mastermind Jack Dangers.
Out on May 10, 2019 on Flexidiscvia Virtual Label in LP, CD, and digital formats, it will also be released as a limited edition of 300 in conjunction with UK magazine Electronic Sound on especially-ugly colored vinyl (in opague couché!). This limited edition vinyl will also be available at http://www.meatbeatmanifesto.com/.
Opaque Couché finds the seminal electronic band in a mischievous, rhythm based mood, recalling some of the band’s groundbreaking early work while still stretching modern boundaries. “I wanted to go back to my roots and reinvent it,” says Dangers, and reinvent he does!
