Matt Monsoor and the metamorphic boiling pot of "The Rower"

 

"and it's scaring me how I could get so angry"

Matt Monsoor's metamorphic "The Rower" will surprise you. It never stands still, the musical narrative cajoles with a hushed vocal performance with lots of shade and mystery on top of a sort of porch blues busker rock feel. The atmosphere is cagey, instruments seem to rumble, to growl and there is a pervasive feeling of tension slowly ramping up and then it happens. The cadence steps up, the sense of movement pushes out of town and the vocal performance becomes even more gnarly and internal and maybe more possessed. For some reason at this point and moving forward I thought of Fiona Apple. It might be the brooding nature, the pot boiling over. 

Cool.

A multi instrumentalist who enjoys making art in a variety of different forms. Music happens to be one of those forms. A quintessential DIYourselfer from beginning to end. Primarily a solo artist with four albums under the titles Comfortably Lost in Greenfield. Another album recorded with friends back in 2007 titled ICU Bleeding. Some of most favorite musical memories came from the ICU project.

I will be releasing my first single in ten years on Feb.15 2021 and look forward to sharing more in the future.

In between making music and videos I enjoy building furniture, screen printing, making lamps, photography, and really just about anything that can keep me from gettin bored with myself.
