Plates Coutures ("Flat Sewings", defeated) is the fifth studio album by French rock band Matmatah. It was released in France on 3 March 2017. Marrée Haute ("High Tide") is the first extract of the eleven new songs. The album was released after a 9-year absence.
The album's recording began in secret as the members began working on the project one year before announcing the group's reformation. A new guitarist joined the band, Emmanuel Baroux, who collaborated with Axel Bauer and Astonvilla.[1]
Matmatah traveled to West Yorkshire, England to begin recording in August 2016.[2] Guitarist Bruno Green (Detroit) was in charge of production. In October, the songs were mixed at ICP studios in Brussels. Mastering took place at Abbey Road Studios in London.[3]
