Matt The Electrician is an all around great dude. You’ll hear that from his friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. He’s also a pretty great songwriter and instrumentalist. Unlike some artists that release dozens of records but never show you their true face, on Animal Boy, Matt leaves no personal or autobiographical stone unturned. It’s all in there for the good of the song and I suppose Matt’s sanity.
Even the cover songs are used to relay Matt’s heartfelt emotions and made his own like on “Faithfully” where he pledges lifelong fidelity to his lover. Or on his own song “Got Your Back” where he pleads his case once again for staying together forever through thick and thin. But it’s this song about a letter he actually wrote to the Walmart customer complaint department about a worker who helps him in his time of need that is both autobiographical and hilarious that I share with you today (listen as he rhymes “garage” and “assuage” and name drops Miley Cyrus amidst other literary feats of heavy lifting).
Animal Boy just became available on CD Baby, I suggest you scoot over there and get yerself a copy.
