Jesse Matas – “Walking Human”
A Spill Exclusive Video Premiere
While drafting his debut solo album,ย Tamarock, Jesse Matasย spent more time in a canoe than in a studio. He spent more time in silence in the bush. Then, over a week in December 2017, the album was recorded (mostly) live-off-the-floor in a small, warm studio in Winnipeg with some of the finest-natured humans in Canada.ย Tamarockย is his first release since 2014, when his infamous band Theย Crooked Brothers released their third album, Thank You, Iโm Sorry.
All the songs onย Tamarockย happen far from cities in woodlands and on lakes.ย Sonically, the album’s range is vast, but most of all,ย Tamarockย sounds like where it came from… and thatโs right where it takes the listener.
Artist Quote
“The song Walking Human contains some of the darkest, brightest, and most anomalous relationships I have witnessed between human and land.ย Three years after the song was written,ย it still gives me a lot to chew on.”
