Bandleader and soul visionary Matthew E. White has shared a video for ‘Rock & Roll Is Cold’, the first full single from Fresh Blood, his new album for Domino coming on 9 March 2015.
The beautifully shot clip follows Matthew as he traverses various semi-surreal terrains, ultimately embarking on a joyride to an exquisite banquet in a video that’s as playful and charming as the tune itself.
Speaking of the video, Matt had this to say: “This video was about highlighting and making use of pre-existing beauty and grandeur. The images I wanted were John Ford’s America – part Badlands, part Bonnie and Clyde.
To that end, I used a team in Salt Lake City known much more for shooting spectacular outdoor shots than any music videos. That was really fresh for me, not to mention extraordinarily physically challenging at times – but these guys are world traveling, mountain climbing pros and brought out the tremendous beauty of the landscape we shot in.
Not to mention the extraordinary beauty of my lady, Miss Merry George. Mirroring the family involvement of the Fresh Blood album cover (shot at my Grandma’s house in Alabama) the final scene of this was shot at my Aunt’s house. It’s nice to keep the family involved when you can.”
Matthew’s special solo show at St. Luke’s on 10 March 2015 is sold out. Full band shows for April 2015 are detailed below.
Fresh Blood will be available on CD (WIGCD309), vinyl (WIGLP309) and via digital download (WIG309D). There is also a special edition of the album, which is a double LP gatefold heavyweight vinyl (WIGLP309X) containing a bonus LP titled Fresh Blood: No Skin – a full length minimalist mix of the entire album, minus strings/horns or choir. You can pre-order Fresh Blood via iTunes or DomMart.

Praise for Big Inner:
‘Over seven elegant tracks, White and his musicians achieve the kinds of loveliness that Spiritualized, Lambchop, Cat Power and the Beta Band have tilted at, at different times in the past, and quite often missed’
5/5 The Observer ‘Album of the Week’
‘A genuinely great artist’
5/5 The Guardian ‘Album of the Week’
‘A contender for album of the year’
5/5 The Sun
‘A genuine classic.’
5/5 Independent On Sunday
‘One of the great albums of modern Americana and one suspects that a reluctant start is born’
9/10 Uncut ‘Album of the Month’
‘A debut album of psychedelic gospel-tinged gems’
4/5 Mojo
‘Incredibly accomplished’
4/5 The Times
‘Pure quality’
4/5 The Evening Standard
‘A hugely impressive debut’
4/5 The Independent
‘An uplifting record, all the more enjoyable for its sense of restraint’
4/5 Metro
‘White has sewn together a psychedelic patchwork from various indigenous sounds – cosmic soul and funk, morning-after blues – that’s as great as any of its obvious influences… cosmically knowing but with nifty footwork’
4/5 Q
‘Many have tried to recreate the vibrancy and laidback groove of vintage soul-pop, but to absolutely nail it you need to be someone truly cosmic. Amy Winehouse just about managed it and Matthew E. White is one other such person.’
8/10 NME
‘Soaked in a bygone age of classic country soul… one of the coolest cats you’re likely to come across in 2013’
Music Week
‘If you like Randy Newman and Lambchop, Big Inner will have a similar effect on you’
The Sunday Times
‘Bathe in the redemptive charm of an orchestrally dense paean to the seventies… somewhere between Nick Drake and Cat Stevens’
GQ
‘This is the kind of debut on which devotional followings are founded’
4/5 The Skinny
‘Reading the classics will never guarantee making a classic album, but Matthew E. White is certainly one student that’s just joined the masters’
