    S4-105 | Southern California Jazz Duo The Mattson 2 is comprised of identical twins Jared & Jonathan Mattson. Channeling the likes of Coltrane, Flying Lotus, and Danger Mouse; the duo deliver a vast catalog of sound steeped in lush textures, warm crackle, and intricate rhythms.

    2022’s ‘Bohsheekwo’ presents 10 tracks of surreal production and expansive performance. Tracks such as “C’est La Vie”, “Monsters”, and “Addiction” lay foundations of unhinged groove that pulse with urgency and tension. Haunting vocal delivery and psyched out atmospheric guitars and keys add immersive counterweight that glue the work together. Interlude tracks “Happy Hill” and “Hayama Rain” contribute peaceful, sonic palette cleansers that brace listeners for what’s to come next.

    Standout title “Spiritual Things” spends 7 minutes weaving in and out of explorative performance and melody perfectly setting the stage for the properly titled closer; “Beach Trance”. Acoustic guitar strums candidly atop lush tropical guitar and soundscapes leaving listeners with a sense of calm and relief.

    We’re so pleased to offer this exclusive “Monochrome Swirl” variant of a record that is sure to stand the test of time in any record collection.

    Enjoy.

Who are you so lonely I'll sit over there I guess we'll see Young and holy How long have I known thee Old and lonely Oh c'est la vie Ok now you're boring I just thought we'd have fun I'll drift all-day Hey girl Nothing ever happens On a Friday movie night Lye alone Lye alone Lye alone until the sunrise How long holy Oh c'est la vie All around you'll see us Drift into the sunset I'll never know Over and under How long have I known her How long lonely Oh c'est la vie I'll skip and burn How long have I known her How long holy Oh c'est la vie

Sometimes when I lie awake at night You're the only one The only thing I think about And I wonder Yes I wonder Where are you now And I wonder Still I wonder Where are you now It's changing It's so cold inside Turning the tide Living a lie As we look in our eyes We lose track of time You're the only one The only thing I think about And I wonder Still I wonder Where are you now

about

Bohsheekwo is the result of pandemic isolation, history on the road, eight records under the belt, and it is the pinnacle of Mattson 2’s work as producers in their own right. Reflecting on what they learned working with Chaz Bear on multiple studio sessions including their most recent hit “Millenium” off of Toro Y Moi’s Mahal, the twins collage together an ecosystem of simplicity, minimalism, and lush maximalism of an almost surrealist nature. The record shifts from Lo-fi indie with crackles and pops that sound like crunching paper which then take you on a cruise to tropical Brazilian Jazz ala symphonic rock—think “Roman Blue” by Danger Mouse.

Included in the 10-song self-released LP is “Spiritual Things”, an extended, yacht-like jam session that takes its time. M2, Chaz Bear, and Anthony Ferraro (Astronauts, etc) recorded the tune together on Election Day, 2016 using Jared’s iPhone. The flagship piece “Addiction” features fellow blood-kin/ Oliver Tree producer Casey Mattson on keyboard. As the track title implies, lyrics like “the only thing I think about” and “it’s so cold inside” explore addiction of multiple kinds. While the lyrics give off a grim melancholic sense of feeling trapped, abandoned, and alone, the lush instrumental closing of the joint reminiscent of Flying Lotus/ Four Tet tells its audience everything will be ok.
