Release Notes
-------------
New York, San Francisco and beyondv Notable indie trailblazer/punk luminary/folk
singer/rock songwriter/guitarist/comedian/performance artist/busiest man in show
biz Jonah Matranga is set to release his first proper (solo÷ album, And on
September 18.
The record, co-produced by Ian Love, noted for his recent work with Earl
Greyhound, will be released on Philadelphia/NYC outpost, Limekiln Records.
Matranga says, (I met the Limekiln guys through Ian, and he just kept saying how
nice and straightforward they¦d been with him. Nice and straightforward are two
of my favorite words, and I trust Ian, so that was that. They seem to be my
perfect combination of small and inspired, pragmatic and creative, serious and
fun.÷
Limekiln¦s co-founder, Steve Reed adds, (We¦re really excited to be working with
Jonah. His dedication to his art is exactly what we love and is a perfect fit
with the other artists at Limekiln Records.÷
Sessions wrapped at Love¦s Brooklyn studio this spring to brilliant result. When
asked about the new stuff, Jonah says, (It¦ll make perfect sense to anyone who¦s
been listening over the years, but it may confound the folks who had me in one
little box or another.÷
The prolific songsmith known as much for his solo work as for his much-loved
group situations like Far, Onelinedrawing, New End Original and Gratitude most
recently released The Three Sketchys 1999-2005 on his own OLD Records.
Essentially, the record was a collection of classic homespun EPs and rarities
following up Matranga¦s acclaimed 2006 release There¦s A Lot In Here (A DVD&CD
By Jonah Matranga), another brilliant collection of songs and images existing in
2 sides and chronicling a bare-bones recording of one of Matranga¦s famous
living room concerts (he is one of the only artists of his ilk that does them);
and a (Rock Club Side÷ that kicks off as a solo show at the Chain Reaction club
in Anaheim, CA, but then sees Matranga usher in various Onelinedrawing
collaborators for a few rousing tunes. Says Matranga, (It¦s been good to revisit
this stuff over the last couple of years, and now it¦s time for something new.÷
Punk rock roots as well as folk singer, Jonah has always stood somewhat outside
the fray. Taking on projects with an eccentric-yet-entrepreneurial bent and
existing as a one-man cottage industry, playing packed rock clubs with or
without backing bands, but also not above playing in a fan¦s living room, and
generally messing with offbeat, challenging and daring ideas, both musically and
otherwise. In this way, Jonah Matranga is a true artist. But Jonah¦s brass ring
for And is uncomplicated, (As always, I¦m just trying to write a simple
songwriter record that¦s not about being retro or scene-conscious or anything
other than who I am right now. The record is about impermanence, both sweet and
sad. Watching my daughter grow up has been one side of it, losing some friends
and family to cancer and suicide has been another, and it all comes out in
different ways in the songs.÷ Even in the early stages, the songs take more cues
from, say, Tom Petty and Jackson Browne than anything contemporary, although
Jonah sometimes swims in the seas between Beck and, possibly M. Ward. Matranga
doesn¦t care much if this gets him into trouble with scenesters. He¦s just
trying to create perfect and substantial pop music.
The packaging and release plans for And are set to be an innovative and curious
affair, not to mention a treat. Matranga is working simultaneously with several
indie labels around the world, and the packaging, lyrics, liner notes, and bonus
material will be different in each country. (It¦s the global anti-globalisation
record÷, quips Matranga. (It¦s amazing to be working with all of these great
little labels, keeping it personal while still getting the music out there.
Of course, you can expect Jonah himself to not be too far behind, as it¦s likely
he¦s been through your town within the past few months and is planning to come
through again. The venerable Fuji Rock festival in Japan has invited Jonah to
come play their solar-powered stage at the end of July, and Fall tours of the
UK, Europe and the US are being booked as you read this.
