FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW MATT ELLIS SINGLE, “NOT EVEN SPRINGSTEEN”, OUT 11/14/25

Matt Ellis releases searing new single, “Not Even Springsteen,” the first taste of his forthcoming seventh album.

Australian-born, California-based songwriter Matt Ellis returns with “Not Even Springsteen,” the first single from his forthcoming seventh studio album, and it’s a haunting, clear-eyed portrait of America’s political divide.

Recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Nicolas Vernhes (Spoon, The War on Drugs) at Rare Book Room in California’s High Desert, the song sees Ellis blending his signature folk-rock storytelling with social commentary that cuts deep.

Through character-driven lyrics and plainspoken poetry, Ellis examines the contradictions of modern America, where faith, fear, and nostalgia collide at the ballot box. The generational union man, single mother, and son of immigrants all find themselves misled and disillusioned. “They confused you with their fake news; not even Springsteen changed your mind,” Ellis sings, channeling both heartbreak and disbelief at a nation divided against itself.

“I was texting with a friend after the election results came in,” Ellis recalls. “Incredulous at the result, I half-joked, ‘Not even Springsteen changed their minds,’ an off-the-cuff comment that carried so much cultural weight, it became a defining lyric for the song and album in many ways.”

That off-the-cuff jab at MAGA was in reference to Bruce Springsteen’s PSA in the weeks leading up to the election. Never had we seen so many prominent artists come forward to support a presidential candidate, and it spoke volumes to the dire situation.

Tracked live in late summer 2024 with Matt Ellis on acoustic guitar and vocals, Denny Weston Jr. on drums, and Dustin Bookatz on bass, “Not Even Springsteen” captures the immediacy of a band locked in the moment. Additional guitars, mandolin, and melodica were added by Joshua Norton, while Ellis recorded his final vocals at his home studio just over the ridge from Rare Book Room.

The song’s bridge features guest vocals from friend and fellow Hi-Desert songwriter Karma (of Henry Ate), whose ethereal harmonies lend the closing lines a haunting echo—“Don’t it make you feel like a rebel / fighting the wrong side.”

Produced by Ellis and Vernhes and mastered by J.J. Golden, “Not Even Springsteen” will be released independently on November 14, 2025, and available on all major streaming platforms.

Not Even Springsteen

Down to the Coast

There’s a certain silence that follows a breakup, a kind of forensic quiet where every memory becomes evidence and every flicker of regret feels like a clue, even though it won’t lead anywhere. “Crime Scene”, the new single from northern Swedish americana rock band Little Stream, lives in that silence.

Produced together with Björn Pettersson Thuuri (Willy Clay Band, Malmfältens Rockklubb), the track fuses delicate folk intimacy with cinematic tension. An acoustic guitar lingers teasingly through brittle, brooding progressions, each note echoing like footsteps in an empty house, while Anna Svensson Rova’s voice trembles between grief, clarity and solemn resignation.

“I got chalk on my hands / I’ve been laying in my bed / I’m dreaming in the shimmer of a screen…”
It is a song about collapse and aftermath, where all that remains is the outline of what once was living and breathing.

Following their 2024 debut album For You Anyway, “Crime Scene” marks a deeper turn in Little Stream’s sound. Rooted in the band’s northern heritage and their shared fascination with what could have been, memories both true and imagined, and the quiet poetry of broken things, the track captures heartbreak with stark simplicity. It is observant, almost clinical, with an unflinching eye for detail, while the drama quietly unravels between the lines.

“Crime Scene” is the first single from Little Stream’s upcoming sophomore album and will be released on December 5 on all major streaming platforms.

Singer-Songwriter Dave Burn is a pioneer of UK alt-country whose music takes elements of Brit folk artists such as Richard Thompson and American singer-songwriters from Tim Rose to Tom Petty, then blends them with the sound of classic London indie bands and UK Americana, topped off with literary, twisting lyrics examining both life’s biggest questions and it’s most fascinating ordinary moments.

Matt Ellis is an Independent, Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter and Producer from Sydney, Australia. Based in the U.S. since 2005, he just released a new single, "Desert Gold".

Along with another world-changing event, 2020 also marked the 20th anniversary of Matt’s first solo release, “Peel”. Since 2000, Matt’s music has taken him across Australia, The United States, Canada, Hong Kong and Mexico sharing the stages with Calexico, Paul Kelly, DeVotchKa, Kasey Chambers, LeAnn Rimes and John Doe to name a few. Album guests have included Nels Cline, Greg Leisz and Merry Clayton and numerous tracks have been licensed by ABC, LMN, MTV, Qantas and The Food Network while receiving airplay on dozens of Radio Stations around the globe.

His latest album, “Rambler Pacifico” is a stream of folk-rock consciousness. A ramble of plain truths in a time of fake news. A collection of songs that speak to the times yet feel timeless. Recorded primarily in Ellis’ garage, the 11 songs kick and caress in equal parts. There is enough twang to remain in the Americana club, yet also a pop sensibility that calls to a wider audience.
