The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast is the sixth full-length album by Matmos. The concept of the album is that each song is dedicated to a person who has influenced the duo, which is reflected in the songs themselves; "Rag for William S. Burroughs" features the clatter of a type writer and a gunshot, representing William Tell the incident, and "Tract for Valerie Solanas" contains excerpts from the "SCUM Manifesto". As with earlier releases, the duo make use of field recordings in the music, recordings that range from ordinary things to more absurd sounds, such as a recording of a bovine uterus.[1]
Track #1 Contains a single line recited by Björk "The rose has teeth in the mouth of a beast." 1:29 Track #5 Contains contains vocals by Antony Hegarty.
