Matador
The first single from our upcoming fourth album, Demolition Derby, is out now! :)
“Matador” was the first song I wrote that ended on the collection that was to be called Demolition Derby, in the faraway summer of 2018.
Listening to it now, I realize a lot of the subjects that permeate the whole album were already there: “make your peace with whatever you feel”, goes the chorus.
