It’s an exciting Caturday at Berkeley Cat Records. Today we see the full release to the digital wilds of Matte Martin’s Bridge album. This happens to be the first full-length album on our label and I’m very proud to host and distribute it far and widely starting….. now!
This record was composed, performed, recorded and produced by Matte Martin with a little help from his friends. My first thought when I heard this was, “Who knew Kurt Weill and Gentle Giant had a baby and why wasn’t I told?” Bridge is a bold and revelatory musical and lyrical journey.
Give ‘er a spin! You can find this in your favorite streaming service as of nanoseconds ago, or better yet, purchase it directly from the artist at his BandCamp page. Above is an embed of said page. Below, you will find links to said stream-o-nets.
On a personal note, this record touches my heart as it looks unflinchingly at the wreckages we have wrought, while radiating an irrepressible and intentional light. There is love in these tracks. And heartbreak and redemption. And humor and venom, and healing and collapse. I invite you to listen and share!
Thank you,
