Matt Mays Rewards The Faithful
For fans of Matt Mays, it's been a long four years since the release of his fourth album (and last with his former band El Torpedo) Terminal Romance. That album delivered on Mays' early promise, a slick and streamlined channeling of Neil Young filtered through the brokenhearted dark pop of the 90s. It was a huge momentum builder, but the disbanding of El Torpedo combined with the scant output of the last four years pretty much... well, torpedoed that momentum.
Mercifully, the wait for a new Matt Mays studio album is nearing its end. The album has a title (Coyote), and a first single that picks up where Terminal Romance left off. Have a listen to Take It On Faith:
A release date for Coyote has yet to be announced, but one can assume we'll have our hands on it somewhere in the neighbourhood of September/October. In the meantime, you can also assume he'll be road testing some of those new songs as he plays a handful of dates this summer (including the FredRock festival in Fredericton on August 10).
