There are some songs, and albums for that matter, that just seem to fit right into your life. For me, the work of Matt Kivel is perfectly fitting for my reflective summer away from work. For instance, this latest single has this rolling drum beat, with lofty vocals floating atop, while varying layers of guitar work come into the fold. Sort of reminds me of long summer road trips through the Northwest with nothing but the stars overhead. His new album, Days of Being Wild will come just in time for you to take your own trip, whatever it may be; it’s being released on July 8th via Woodsist.

New Music from Matt Kivel

I’m in love with the feeling of this song. At first, I got overwhelmed by the tone of the guitar; it’s got this deep tone that feels like it’s slowly strutting along the streets with a carefree attitude. But, I also am really impressed with Matt Kivel‘s voice. There’s a gentle quality to it, and it’s carefully placed just atop the guitar chords. The rest of the track has pretty minimal instrumentation, even down to the guitar noodling in the background, but it’s this understated beauty that might just make Days of Being Wild a great listen; you can pick up the record on July 8th on Woodsist Records.
