Mat Kerekes - Luna & The Wild Blue Everything (August 26, 2016) Album

New record from Citizen front man Mat Kerekes. This newest single is sick!


Citizen frontman Mat Kerekes premieres new solo song “My Lucky #3”—listen (exclusive) - Features - Alternative Press

 

Really enjoying the 2 songs he has put out for this so far. It's good stuff, pre-ordered the record today because of them.

 

Yea that second song blew me away

 

This will be excellent. I'm a BIG fan of all his bandcamp stuff and the ep he put out in 2014.

 

Both new songs are awesome, and the second one blew me away as well. If you would have told me a month ago that the lead singer from citizen would make one of my AOTY contenders I probably would have laughed and said you didn't know my tastes too well, but here we are.

 

Judging by your username, are you against citizen or something lol

 

You're not the first one to guess that, but no haha. It's a video game reference. The game Half-Life 2 had a level called Anticitizen 101, and when I was younger I thought that was the coolest thing ever so it's been my online username for almost everything since I was like 12.

 

Ah ok gotcha. I like Citizen and this new solo record by Mat will be great as well. Didn't expect it so even better. It's a nice surprise and like you said who knows maybe AOTY contender.

 

New song featuring Anthony green real solid!!

 

Anthony Green outta nowhere.

 

I think this is gonna be a really cool album. First 3 tracks are great and diverse.

 

This is sounding way better then I expected and each song has a distinct sound to it. Really excited for this.

 

I agree, each song is able to distinguish itself in a unique way that still feels like it'll make a cohesive album.

 

My pre-order came in today. Album is good, gonna need a more listens to really process it. A lot of acoustic tracks with some strings added in.

Not really a fair comparison but I like it more than the newest Citizen album.

 

Shit does it come out Friday?

 

Indeed it does

 

Lol says on the album thread I'm an idiot. Will be cool to hear

 

How does the album as a whole hold up against the singles?

 

Oh sweet it's this Friday yay I thought it was next Friday!

 

Doesn't he have a hardcore band as well?

 

Other than Citizen you mean? Because I wouldn't call Citizen hardcore more like alternative rock but they are great.

 

Correct, I thought I heard he had a legit hardcore side project at one time. Maybe just remembering wrong though.

 

This is streaming. I saw this thread a while ago and decided to check out Direction and My Lucky #3 on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely be giving this some attention tonight

I love the production on this.. It's a really fresh live sound. Feels like he's playing in actual room
