Info zu Never Had to Leave

Der in Nashville lebende Musiker Matt Maeson meldet sich mit seinem lang erwarteten zweiten Album Never Had to Leave zurück, einem aufschlussreichen Werk, das eine neu entdeckte Hoffnung verkörpert und gleichzeitig die rohe Intensität und das unverblümte Erzählen der Wahrheit unterstreicht, die Maesons Musik von Anfang an ausgemacht haben. Never Had to Leave wurde hauptsächlich von seinem langjährigen Mitarbeiter James Flannigan (Marina, Broods) produziert und entstand in einer Reihe von frei fließenden, höchst experimentellen Sessions in Nashville, Los Angeles und Maesons früherer Heimatstadt Austin. Der chamäleonhafte und brennende Sound des Albums wird durch befreundete Musiker wie den Schlagzeuger Rob Humphreys (Karen O, Jacob Banks) und den Gitarristen Brennan Smiley (The Technicolors) verstärkt, was zu einer eklektischen, frenetischen Kollision von Rock 'n' Roll, Folk und unwiderstehlich düsterem Pop führt. Geprägt von der rastlosen Kreativität, die sein musikalisches Schaffen seit langem antreibt, ist Never Had to Leave eine donnernde Meditation über den Neubeginn nach einer langen Zeit des Kampfes und der Selbstzerstörung und bietet wieder einmal ein wichtiges Ventil für Künstler und Publikum gleichermaßen.

Matt Maeson
makes songs for those moments when you need them the most. No matter how fast life goes, he can get a grip on it and slow it down just enough to sing about it. The Virginia-born and Nashville-based multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist transforms complicated feelings, uneasy thoughts, and self-doubt into arrestingly catchy alternative anthems anchored by relatable and raw emotion. Throughout the last decade, Matt has documented life’s twists and turns on tape. In 2019, he struck a chord and made history with his first LP, Bank on the Funeral. The album’s two Platinum-certified singles—“Cringe” and “Hallucinogenics” [feat. Lana Del Rey]—each climbed to #1 at Alternative, elevating him as “the first ever male solo artist to log two #1 Alternative hits from a full-length debut LP.” On its heels, 2022’s Never Had To Leave incited critical acclaim from American Songwriter, Consequence of Sound, and more. He emerged as the rare talent equally comfortable supporting Zach Bryan in arenas or lending his voice to tracks alongside Gryffin, Illenium, and Chelsea Cutler. He also embarked on the sold-out acoustic That’s My Cue Tour captured on his 2024 live record, That’s My Cue: A Solo Experience. Along the way, Matt got married, moved from Austin to Nashville, and became a dad. He processes all of these pivotal changes out loud on his third full-length offering, A Quiet and Harmless Living [Atlantic Music Group]. By doing so, he taps into the sound of growing and finding balance with his most vulnerable and vital body of work yet.
