A Quiet And Harmless Living is album pisanan Matt Maeson wiwit 2024 live record, That’s My Cue: A Solo Experience Ayo ditulis ing wektu lan kronis periode saka perubahan sing mendalam ing urip Maeson. "Aku ora nyoba kanggo nyenengake kabeh wong kanthi dadi ayah, suami, lan artis apik," ngandhingake. "Aku gagal ing kabeh, amarga aku ora nggunakake akeh. Dheweke ndadekake menyang titik kang iku muncul ing lirik. Aku ngandika babagan kabeh ngluwihi lan ngluwihi paternity, nikah, lan karier ing industri sing njupuk kabeh wektu sampeyan lan ndadekake sampeyan kanggo wektu sing sampeyan ora nyedhiyakake. Ana whiplash saka emosi, nanging paternity nyedhiyakake aku punch ing wajah sing aku kudu, 'Pekerjaan sampeyan ora satu-satunya sing ora penting lagi'. Dheweke nyedhiyakake tekanan off. Karirku bisa gagal, nanging aku uga duwe hal paling apik ing donya: putra.
Dhiyakake pergantian ing rumah, Matt utamane pisanan ing malam, kerja sering antara 11pm lan 2am. Dheweke ndeleng kabeh saka Mk.gee, Big Thief, lan Adrianne Lenker kanggo skor Final Fantasy VII and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. To bring the music to life, he collaborated closely with producer and friend Owen Lewis, leveraging the talents of Nashville session musicians to complete the vision. This time around, the bulk of the material developed on piano, including the first single “Everlasting,” which wrestles with the idea of leaving it all behind, before dusting yourself off and finding comfort in the mantra-like chant, “Grit your teeth and make us proud. Fake it when you don’t know how.”
Ing “Downstairs” palm-muted gitar listrik nyimpen ing subtoof saka refrain-boosted distortion, “I just wanna drift away downstairs.” Meanwhile, on “Cursive,” Maeson duets with Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra trading off on introspective verses. “Andy and I have become super close,” Maeson says. “He’s been through it all, and he has two kids who are a little older. It’s the only song to address my place with religion and faith. As a kid, you rely on what you’re indoctrinated with. When you get to 32 and all of it falls apart, you have to figure out what you believe.”
Ultimately, A Quiet and Harmless Living is the sound of growing and finding balance. “At the end of the day, I’m just a good father and husband who makes and plays music sometimes,” he smiles. “I’m so happy with this record. I made something that spoke to me, and I’m content, man.”
