Matt Rollings – ‘The Valentine Sessions’

‘The Valentine Sessions’, the new album by Matt Rollings was inspired by his early love for piano jazz trios which had a huge influence on him as a young musician. The ten-track album was cut live with no headphones, fixes, or overdubs, and takes listeners on a beautiful journey through slow and mid-tempo grooves, blues riffs and ends with a classic waltz. Unlike his previous album, ‘Matt Rollings Mosaic’ which featured an array of iconic talents like Willie Nelson, Allison Krauss, Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett and the Blind Boys of Alabama, ‘The Valentine Sessions’ takes on a more stripped down and organic approach. It’s simply piano, bass and drums. Matt Rollings started playing piano at nine years old and has been a successful studio and touring musician, composer, arranger, and producer for over the past forty years. He has won two Grammy awards as a producer and has played on […]

Mom Rock – “Close Your Eyes”

Pulling from memories of a childhood celebrity crush, in Mom Rock’s latest single “Close Your Eyes” is all about realizing that some fantasies are just not meant to be. This is the second single off the band’s forthcoming album, ‘Now That’s What I Call Mom Rock’ which was produced by Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Plain White T’s, Beach Bunny). You see someone from afar and fall in love. Without knowing who this person really is, you dream up a whole future together. This kid essentially obsesses over a popstar, meets her, and she’s like, ‘You’re a kid. I’m not in love with you. That would be weird.’ We’d been covering ‘Teenage Dirtbag,’ and it’s the reverse sentiment. It’s a ‘sad in love’ song.

Päter – “Four Walls”

If you’re hiding out indoors to escape the brutal summer heat, Päter’s latest single “Four Walls” will keep you company. Tacked piano, wacky background vocals and a strong driving beat a la Arcade Fire gives this song all the energy you need to keep yourself bouncing around your air conditioned bedroom. My reference for this track was the part in Willy Wonka where all the creepy dolls do a song and dance and then blow up. It’s about this age of bedroom content making that’s dressed up with so much promise but can in fact become quite isolating and maddening. Packaged in high octane indie rock delight. Who would have thought a music career could begin from the sale of a childhood puppy? After being forced to sell their family dog after the birth of a sibling, Päter traded in a pet for a guitar. Over the years and through […]
