The Sicilian Plan (E. Morricone)

THE MATTSON 2
FEELING HANDS
OUT NOW ON GALAXIA RECORDS

The musical journey that is the Mattson 2 has culminated with the release of their latest album, “Feeling Hands.” After two years of touring, writing and collaborating, both Jonathan (drums) and Jared (guitar/bass) have created a record that celebrates the sounds and visions of a band hitting their collective stride at precisely the right moment.
Steeped in a breezy jazz brilliance and the swagger of surf and sun, “Feeling Hands” is an open invitation to an uncharted destination of artistry. Perhaps what’s most remarkable about “Feeling Hands” is the journey it creates for the listener, incorporating numerous influences throughout both the music and recording process. Moreover, it’s the uncanny ability of a duo to create a vintage sound that can champion the riffs of Dick Dale while triggering the confidence of Morrissey and the swoon of Chet Baker.

The Marcus King Band "I Won't Be Here" Radio Edit
Soul Insight is out now on Evil Teen Records

iTunes: http://smarturl.it/SoulInsight-iTunes
Amazon: http://smarturl.it/SoulInsight-Amazon

Young songwriter Marcus King’s debut album, Soul Insight, which arrives on October 30 via Evil Teen Records, displays his stunning command of rock, blues, psychedelia, funk, soul and improvisation — all with a distinctly Southern musical accent. It also brings the 19-year-old a step closer to his musical destiny.

Call him the next Duane Allman or Jimi Hendrix, but whatever you do, don’t call Marcus King a child prodigy. Sure, the 19-year-old guitar shredder’s talent shimmers with the same resonance as his heroes, but he’s been wielding an axe since he learned to talk - he started playing when he was 2. Marcus was born into music, gifted with steel-string DNA and two generations of men before him who nurtured the boy’s musical nature.

Marcus still continues to grow, to experiment, to share his passions. He’s an engaged and engaging young man with a lifetime of experience, still coming into his own, still carrying his guitar with him, and promising us all a promising future.

Mattson 2 - Essence

'Causers of This' is a glimpse into my early life as a suburban, American, POC. It is a reaction to what it feels like to lose. Ironically, all of the sessions and files making up the album were lost in a car burglary in 2009; all that was left were the instrumentals. The lyrics were the last element added on this particular record and I'm excited for my listeners to experience the album the way I first intended it to be. Now, 10 years later, it feels more appropriate than ever to release this pared-down version of the record to leave space for thought and reflection. Thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.

50% of the Bandcamp proceeds from the Causers instrumentals today (6/27) will go to People's Breakfast Oakland. https://found.ee/TYM-Causers-10year

The Joy of Music, The Job of Real Estate

Radio Shack (Vulfpeck Cover)

This is a song on "Feeling Hands" performed By M2 (still buy it on iTunes), plus Tom on upright bass, and Monty Valier (the engineer) lays down some really subtle organ/synth pads. Listen for these. Brian Archinal, a mfa percussionist who studied with the great Steven Shick plays the timpani drums... really gets into a hectic wipe-out mode... My guitar was recorded with 3 different amps so I got a lot of different tones... listen for my loop improvisation layering in the middle (i used a roland 20xl for the loops) my loving/lovable twin, Jonathan laid down some killer drums as he always does, he was referencing motown but as you can hear... something else very original happened... J-rad of M2 tuning out... XOXO
