I spent much of my teenage years working in a suburban video store. A colleague kept raving about some sci-fi movie that i had to see. I finally gave in… it wasn’t bad… the plot was something like, this sudden worldwide event happens and there are no people left on earth. Actually there are just a few, and they each think they are alone until one by one they meet each other. Turns out the only reason they lived is because while the event happened, they were in the process of dying at that very moment. It was the dying people who lived. It had this really cool final scene where the protagonists look at this star-planet-ring thing. The whole shebang was called The Quiet Earth. I hadn’t thought about that movie in almost 20 years, when what do i see, but Quebec-based Le Matos, referencing that obscure movie with their song title! Crazy shit.

That whole weird referential story aside, I’m hoping to hear more from these guys. Some epic starhunting electro coming out of Montreal. The original is vocal-less, while the two edits are dropped on some french-language morsels. Le Matos is right up the alley of all those fans of the you-know-which decade influencing the you-know-which style.
