!!Matmos provides examples of the following tropes.
* AuthorAppeal: Field recordings and samples of household objects and everyday activities are extremely prevalent in their music.
* ClusterFBomb: The last two songs on disc one of ''The Consuming Flame'' contain plenty of “fucks” and “shits” to go around.
* ConceptAlbum: Several of their albums deal with various concepts.
** ''The West'' is about TheWildWest.
** ''A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure'' is about plastic surgery.
** ''The Civil War'' alternates between songs about UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar and songs about TheMiddleAges.
** ''The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast'' is about the lives of several LGBTQ people who have influenced the duo.
** ''The Marriage of True Minds'' is about Daniel and Schmidt's experiences undergoing the Ganzfeld experiment over the course of four years.
** ''Ultimate Care II'' is an album about doing the laundry. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, you read that right.]]
** ''Plastic Anniversary'' deals with the overproduction and overuse of plastic products and their effect on the environment.
* CoverVersion: They have covered the songs "Disco Hospital" by {{Music/Coil}} and "E.S.P." by {{Music/Buzzcocks}}. Daniel has also covered numerous HardcorePunk and BlackMetal songs under his Soft Pink Truth moniker.
* CreatorCouple: Daniel and Schmidt are happily married.
* DreamTeam: They collaborated with {{Music/Bjork}} on her albums ''{{Music/Vespertine}}'' and ''{{Music/Medulla}}''. They also released a split EP with PostRock/chamber music band Rachel’s.
* EpicRocking: Their album ''The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises in Group Form'' contains over three hours of music, spread across three discs with 44 songs.
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: This trope is a staple for them. Examples include:
** ''Matmos'', which samples haircuts, breathing and the neural activity of crayfish.
** ''Quasi-Objects'', which is composed using household objects.
** ''A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure'', which uses samples from the slicing, snipping, drilling and sawing sounds of plastic surgeries on almost every song save for “For Felix (And All the Rats)”, which is composed with the tapping of the cage of Daniel and Schmidt’s recently deceased pet rat.
** ''The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouse of a Beast'', which samples the sounds of bovine uterus, glassware, haircuts, scissors cutting paper, cigarette lighting, [[ToiletHumor farting and burping]].
** ''Ultimate Care II'', which is composed only using the sounds of their Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washing machine.
** ''Plastic Anniversary'', which is composed entirely with plastic objects.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: ''The Consuming Flame'''s cover art is just the band and album name in black text on a blank white background.
* NewSoundAlbum: Every single album sounds different from one another, from the Americana/Medieval-influenced ''The Civil War'' to the washing machine-based album ''Ultimate Care II''.
* OneLastSmoke: "Last Delicious Cigarette'' from ''The West''.
* SelfTitledAlbum: Their debut album is titled ''Matmos''.
* SensoryAbuse: "Regicide" and "The Precise Temperature of Darkness" both have intensely noisy moments.
* ShoutOut: Every song on ''The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouse of a Beast'' is dedicated to a particular LGBTQ person who influenced them, from writer Valerie Solanas to late singer of Music/TheGerms Darby Crash.
* SoloSideProject: Drew Daniel records microhouse and experimental techno music under the name The Soft Pink Truth.
* TitleTrack: ''The West'', ''Supreme Balloon'', ''Ultimate Care II'' and ''Plastic Anniversary'' all have a title track.
* ToiletHumor: There is lots of farting and burping heard partway through "Tract for Valarie Solanas".
* TheWestern: ''The West'' is based off of the days of TheWildWest.
