New Eric Matthews, Cardinal re-release

I pondered reviving this thread a couple of years ago when I first heard It's Heavy in Here. Some beautiful melodies, not all of them sung; but he has a dispassionate-to-blank vocal style, and cryptic lyrics (though a couple of them hint at moral condemnations that perhaps indicate his conservative outlook).

I remember reading an interview with him in The Big Takeover where he bragged about not having a single MIDI cable in his home studio, such goofy shit.

I guess at the end of the day it's not a huge surprise a musician that fetishizes vintage recording equipment while eschewing modern technology might possess political views that are, shall we say, less than progressive.

I don't think that means anything actually

Oh, of course it doesn't. Then again, I can't say I'm surprised.
