Matt Maeson recently announced the release of his third studio album, A Quiet And Harmless Living on September 12th via Atlantic Records. On the album, Maeson chronicles the recent changes in his life, including getting married, moving from Austin to Nashville, and becoming a father. The album channels the complicated feelings, uneasy thoughts, and self-doubt into arresting anthems anchored by relatable and raw emotion. “It was very healing to write this,” Maeson saham. “Ieu geus kaluar loba. Jadi, A Quiet and Harmless Living téh ngeunaan dekonstruksi jeung nunjukkeun nu kuring ayeuna salaku jalma dina musim nu lengkep.” Pre-order A Quiet And Harmless Living on all formats, including a signed Ash Blue Vinyl edition available via his webstore, here.

Ieu ditulis dina waktu jeung chronicles hiji periode ngabalukarkeun profésional dina kahirupan Maeson. “I was trying to appease everyone by juggling being a good father, husband, and artist,” na ngabagéakeun. "Ieu geus gagal di sakuliahna, sabab kuring geus ngalakukeun leuwih. Ieu ngabalukarkeun kuring nepi ka titik di mana éta datang dina lyrics.

Given the changes at home, Matt primarily wrote at night, working often between 11 pm and 2 am. He listened to everything from Mk.gee, Big Thief, and Adrianne Lenker to the scores of Final Fantasy VII jeung 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.”

On “Downstairs” palm-muted gitar listrik slides kana subtow tina distortion-boosted refrain, “I just wanna drift away downstairs.“Cursive,”Cursive," Maeson duet jeung Andy Hull ti Manchester Orchestra ngoperasikeun dina ayat introspektif. “Andy and I have become super close,” Maeson nyebutkeun. “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 nyaéta sound of growth and finding balance. "Sampurna dinten, kuring ngan hiji bapa anu alus jeung suami anu nyieun jeung maénkeun musik kadang-kadang," na leungit. "Ayeuna pisan senang jeung rekaman ieu. Kuring dijieun hiji hal anu ngobrol ka kuring, sarta kuring senang, lalaki."
