Equally as engaging on the sampler as Matmos, Akufen, or Matthew Herbert, Secret Mommy's Very Rec is the culmination of nearly a year's worth of field recordings featuring friends doing recreational activities. Carefully cutting and reassembling these sounds into quirky compositions, Secret Mommy has serious fun capturing the sounds of scissors into cardboard paper, zamboni machines, or tennis balls and making them into songs with amazing results. - Rob Theakston
