Zelienople
frontman
Matt Christensen
returns to Miasmah with
Constant Green
-- a record of reverberant country inspired songs that puts the weight somewhere between
Johnny Cash
and
Slowdive
. Matt pours out his soul through flashes of life -- small and large. His voice roaming over the guitars in a way which feels like a floating poetic deluge. Appearing fresh from 2020's Zelienople album
Hold You Up
(MIA 047LP), Matt has made a very personal record that arrives as perfectly as it could be. It is full of beautiful sparse moments that capture the feeling of time standing still while simultaneously flashing in front of your eyes. As a child of the '70s, growing up with country influenced AM rock on the radio, riding around in cars without seatbelts, Matt creates this nostalgic feeling of free riding through the city streets at dusk: a dream world where one can see green as a symbol for humanity and optimism. Not to say the album doesn't have its share of darkness. Christensen always lingers deep in melancholy, driving his fears and anxieties out through music. Visions of being able to move anywhere, picking his mother up from jail, family matters, change, the small things in life -- all outtakes from what he sings about. Although it's hard to pick up on unless you really listen, as his ramblings can at one moment be fully clear while in the next drowned or muffled -- becoming a mere meditative element to the music. Steady collaborators
Brian Harding
and
Eric Eleazer
from Zelienople accompanies on pedal steel and keys to further fill the sound into a warm dream, following in the footsteps of Matt's previous Miasmah album
Honeymoons
(MIA 034CD/LP, 2016). That said, while
Honeymoons
used drum machines and vast open spaces,
Constant Green
is another step closer towards the classic singer-songwriter folklore. Timeless gold from an artist that never stops creating. Dark green vinyl; includes download code; edition of 300.
