Matthew Good - Lights of Endangered Species

The name of Matthew Good's fourteenth and possibly last full length album has just been released. Lights of Endangered Species is the name and it is going to feature nine tracks (His only full length to have under 10 tracks).

The first single will be streaming in the M+ area of his website (unfortunately a paid subscription area) before the summer 2011 release.

2010 was a very busy year for Matthew Good, after embarking on a tour across the US and Canada, he began recording of his latest album in October. After a marathon recording session, mixing followed on November 29th. Good was also happily married last year and had his first baby.

I will try my best to get that single up on here as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Mother Mother release new single - The Stand

Mother Mother is a 5 piece indie rock band based out of Vancouver, British Colombia. Mother Mother consists of Ryan Guldemond on guitar and vocals, Molly Guldemond on vocals and keyboard, Jasmin Parkin on keyboard and vocals, Ali Siadat on drums, and Jeremy Page on bass. I saw this band open up for Matthew Good last year and they put on a pretty good show. On December 6, 2010, the band announced via their website the title of their third studio album would be Eureka. The album will comprise twelve tracks, and will be released March 15. Just recently they released a single called The Stand which is promoting that album. You can check The Stand out below as well as a couple songs off their previous album O My Heart.

If you want to check out more Mother Mother you can stream all of their songs over at their SoundCloud page. A couple more tracks I suggest to take a listen to are Wrecking Ball and Hayloft.

Matthew Good: Next Album Set To Record

For all you you Matthew Good fans out there his new untitled album is set to be recorded. The album is going to be produced by Warne Livesey who Matt has worked with on several previous albums and is going to feature 8 tracks. Livesey said, "Matt already has an incredible collection of songs demoed and the project will be quite a new departure for us both." Recording is set to start this October and Matt has expressed interest in recording the album at home or a lesser known studio.

Matthew Good went on to say that, This will probably be the last full album I ever make. After it’s done I think I'm going to move into the realm of releasing 3 or 4 song EP's with greater frequency so that I can delve into different genres without having to produce entire records. Post rock to acoustic to free form jazz all in 12 months - who knows. Should make live shows more interesting though, and should allow me to tour more frequently as well.

Sounds like good news to me.
