Black Bile
Listen/Order the LP from Thrill Jockey Records


"A key figure in the US underground’s shift from psych noise music to imaginary, and real, film soundtracks ... one of his softest and quietly absorbing suites" - Boomkat

"Black Bile is a small anti-modern, anti-zen and anti-technological masterpiece, a work as sacred as it is conservative but which contains a whole expanding world." - Sun Burns Out

 

"Matt Hill is a master of creating moods that may be unfamiliar and alien but, like the best ambient music, are eventually welcoming in their own way." - Pop Matters

​

“A characteristic suite of filmic electronics ... Hill regularly composes soundtracks, most recently for Adam Egypt Mortimer’s 2020 action thriller Archenemy and Black Bile channels a similarly dramatic weight. Rather than the neon fantasy of that score, “Empty Shell” and “Monkshood” have the subtle emotional pull of a melancholic character study.” - The Wire

​

"Black Bile is a quiet, expansive, and layered body of sound. One for contemplation and meditation" - Complex Distrations
