ABOUT THE ALBUM

'Imagined Sky'​ is the first solo record from Chicago-based guitarist and songwriter ​Matt Gold.​ Gold’s open, creative approach to music making has flourished in his adopted home - “I value the cross-pollination and intermingling of the scenes; it’s a beautifully collaborative city” - and his talents have been called upon by a diversity of boundary-crossing artists such as ​Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, Sara Serpa,​ and J​amila Woods.​

Melody is at the center of Gold’s music, whether he’s edging towards post-rock power-trio antics with electric bassist ​Bryan Doherty​ and drummer ​Jeremy Cunningham, ​or exploring an abstracted Americana with acoustic guitar and whispering electronic textures. Imagined Sky also uses these elements to frame the direct, folk-tinged vocals of collaborators ​Sara Serpa​ and ​Macie Stewart,​ as well as Gold himself. “I’ve tried to stitch together the more improvisatory electric trio material with something more song-focused and concise, balancing these energies.”

‘Augusta Fairgrounds’​ opens the album with the trio, whose driving yet empathetic approach creates the backbone of the record. “We played free-improvised gigs around Chicago for a few years before I brought any of my own material in, so my trio music sits on several years of trust, collaboration and exploration with Bryan and Jeremy.” Like much of the record, the track evokes a wide open, sometimes-turbulent landscape. “I think a lot about space in my writing, whether it’s external, as in a physical space, or internal - the spaces of our imagination, our uncertainties, our own particular ways of seeing the world...this record leans into both interpretations.” ​‘Queen Anne’ ​features vocalist Macie Stewart and lyrically builds on these themes, blending her clear, unadorned articulation with the trio’s insistent interlocking groove. Propelled by a trance-inducing drum pattern, ‘Crimes’ ​emerges with a sparse, desert landscape of guitar chords and synthesizer textures that build in energy and intensity, hinting at the sounds of a Morricone film score. ​’Between The Four Seas’​ is a measured, stately composition for solo acoustic guitar whose careful poise is subverted by aggressive tape manipulation to create an undercurrent of disquiet. ​‘Truehearted’ ​features lush strings surrounding an affectingly unadorned vocal from Gold on a piece based on an excerpt of a Dvorak composition. Playing viola throughout his childhood, Gold recalls performing the orchestral piece and being haunted by one of its melodies for years to come. “I don’t think anyone really looks to the ​Slavonic Dances​ as a heavy, emotional cornerstone of his writing, but one melody that’s doubled by the flute and oboe just never seemed to leave my consciousness. It made so much sense reframed as an acoustic guitar piece, adding lyrics...which makes sense, since those pieces were originally written to evoke a folk music sensibility in the first place.” The trio returns on ​‘Dollarama,’​ a blistering extrapolation on a unison theme, followed by ​‘Always Starting Over,’​ which returns the melodic voice to the acoustic guitar alongside the rhythm section’s nuanced pulse. The song’s subtle production and detailed textures open the melodies into more ambient, meditative zones and showcase the trio’s wide dynamic palette. ​‘Petrichor,’​ written with and featuring Sara Serpa on vocals, finds Gold and Serpa in duet as dreamlike synthesizer lines wash over the mix. “I first worked with Sara on a ​Sun Speak​ record a few years ago and was looking for an opportunity to play with her again - she brings such a vulnerable, personal sound to the music.” ‘Bottom Of The Barrel’​ leans into an earthy, familiar feeling, bursting with raucous, blues-tinged energy to create the perfect end-of-the-set nightcap.

'Imagined Sky​' finds Gold exploring the connections between the external and internal - the vast landscapes that erode and change, and one’s inner world that evolves and adapts. Richly melodic, atmospheric yet accessible, unconstrained by genre but sure of its own identity, ​Imagined Sky feels less like a debut and more like a culmination - an arrival point for an artist who has already quietly woven his voice into the fabric of Chicago’s many musical communities.

PRESS HIGHLIGHTS

“Imagined Sky represents a highly mature and distinctive statement from Gold, who brings the various aspects of his musical personality together to create a totally convincing whole. Moving seamlessly between genres the album is an admirably cohesive amalgam of influences drawing on various aspects of American and European music."
★★★★ The Jazz Mann

"There’s an alluring kinetic energy to this recording, whether it be Gold’s electric guitar power-playing, his acoustic guitar and its whispered textures, the folk-tinged vocals blending perfectly with the abstracted Americana, or the bluesier elements that are a welcome delight."
★★★★ UK Vibe

"This Chicago-based guitar trio have an engaging sound and wield their own succinct brand of distorted Americana."
Jazzwise Magazine

"This record is impressive, with the extensions of Gold’s sound all landing very capably and entertainingly while not diminishing the quality of the work he is so expert at."
Independent Clauses

"The guitarist favors overall atmospheres rather than individual exploits: from aerial progressive rock ("Augusta Fairgrounds") to a powerful blues ("Bottom of the Barrel")... A delight."
Jazz à Babord
