Description
Conceived as a soundtrack to an unrealised film, ...When The Angels Make Contact finds Matt Mays edging away from barroom swagger toward moody, cinematic drift. Matt Mays’ ...When The Angels Make Contact (2LP) leans into shadowy instrumentals, surfy tremolo and hushed vocals that feel plotted like scenes. On the title track, the tremolo guitar swells and a brushed snare sneaks in beneath a low, pulsing bass move, setting a midnight pace. The interludes stitch images together like headlights sweeping a foggy back road, and when the full band pushes, it feels earned rather than flashy.
File it next to Calexico, though Mays tilts colder and more coastal. This 2LP pressing opens up the space and sharpens imaging, so the reverbs bloom cleanly and small percussion details sit where they should. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Matt Mays records online with us. It’s the Matt Mays album we reach for after midnight, setting up a small party or winding home across Melbourne. Fans who came in via his El Torpedo-era rockers will appreciate how the tension here coils inward without losing grit.
For anyone who wants a thoughtful, late-night cousin to his louder records, this edition rewards quiet volume and attention. Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
