Mattiel – Bye Bye (2018)
“I’m not sure at what point ‘Tarantino’ turned from a famed director into a genre of music, but here we are in 2018 with a record that can comfortably be described as peak Tarantino. ‘Mattiel’ is a familiar cocktail of dusty horns, dustbowl blues and Dusty Springfield-style ’60s pop that almost screams out for accompanying widescreen vista or Mexican standoff. There’s even the odd production choice of ending songs while they’re in the process of fading out, as if to cut to the next scene.” Source

“In the early ’70s, Jessie Key and Sylvester Cleary – two passionate idealists living in Buffalo, New York – formed a close friendship based on a mutual mission to better their city. The Attica State Prison Riot of 1971 was a burning memory, and the Arthur vs. Nyquist lawsuit – brought against the City of Buffalo for creating and maintaining a racially segregated school system – was on the docket. Key was once a cotton-laborer in Mississippi, who journeyed north for school where he met his kindred spirit, Cleary. The two struck up an intense friendship, bought a drum machine and recorded their first 45, “A Man,” a paean to self-actualization and Black American empowerment, which they custom pressed and issued privately.” Source
