Concert Club: Matt the Electrician

This show is a part of Concert Club.
THE OCEAN KNOCKED ME DOWN will be released into the world on February 2nd, 2024.
For the new project, Matt returned to his “home studio” of sorts, The Aerie, in Austin, TX, (owned and operated by Mark Addison) where Matt had recorded 4 of his previous records, including 2009´s “Animal Boy”. And like that record, Matt and Mark played nearly all the instruments on the new record.
There are some special guest musicians as well, including MtE regulars, Seela, Jon Greene, and Stephanie Macias, plus first timers Carrie Rodriguez, Luke Jacobs and Oliver Steck.
To call this a pandemic record might be slightly misguided, even though most of the songs were in fact written during 2020 and 2021. But the vibe of the record is upbeat, and weird, and fun, and sometimes sad, but hopeful, and occasionally poignant, and silly, and hopeful, but ridiculous, and also hopeful. You might think that´s a lot of vibes, but there are 16 songs on the record, because we´ve all been through a lot, and so Matt figured that, this time, everyone deserved a few more songs and a few more vibes than usual.
