The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…

It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!
As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...
This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…
Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…
When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'

They say that you are evil
They say that you are bad
They say you got me hooked
They say you drive…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?

Now if that doesn't make you want to jump up and down, nothing will!!! Awesome!!!
Gotta jam this one again. Probably one mo' time after that :) crank it up!
That's raw and full of piss and vinegar energy. Like CBGB's energy. ..and the crowd goes absolutely berserk.
Rock it! Great song. Love the message!
My feet are tapping! Nice tone on that guitar, and interesting message.
Awesome disco touch. I like how you used the clavinet in this song
Great pure vocals
You grew up there - that explains why your music often has a British touch :-) Great song!
Wonderful melody and harmonies
Love howw the song develops. Must have been a challenge to have the Wurlitzer not ruin the stereo correlation of the mix :-)

Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
This intro is fantastic.
Cool number. For some reason it sounds like it could have been part of School House Rock back in the day...
The production quality on your record this year is over the top, Matt. Really stellar job.
Cool departure from the rest of the record. Bass is awesome.
Love the syncopation. Matt, this record is kick-arse.
