“THE LARCH – catchy, lyrically brilliant psychedelic new wave rock from Brooklyn” NY Music Daily

On 2012's Days to the West:

"Not a single miss on this album: another winner from a group that deserves to be much better known than they are." 
- New York Music Daily http://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/larch/

Find out why the kids on the internet are calling these tunes as “A bloody f**kin' triumph”, “Gorgeous!” & “just what the doctor ordered”...

"For over ten years, long before 80s music was all the rage again, Brooklyn rockers the Larch have been making solidly good, cleverly lyrical albums that draw deeply on British new wave. Their latest one, Larix Americana is a bonafide classic, one of the best albums of 2010..cynical yet warmly catchy"-Lucid Culture

Matziz's work is an attempt to translate images into music, to sculpt sound material and play with its textures to extract an emotional essence.

This is about working alchemical formulas through sound, to:
- treat, accompany, heal, inspire...
The sensitive world according to its various needs, which fluctuate at full speed, according to the context of the extremely changing and tumultuous news.

It is one of the facets of the musical work of Mathieu TORRES who is active in several projects (M'Z - Zhorhann - The Diogenes - UBBS - No Skeletons...), inspired by the origins of Techno and the English effervescence of electronic music in the 90's
