All music and lyrics by Matt Glassmeyer, except for “Expectation of June” vocal by Katja Raine.
Meadownoise is the name of Matt Glassmeyer’s project of songs recorded at his home studio. The three previous records, It’s 4:00, Dark Digest, and Threeve can be broadcast anywhere you like to stream your music.
For the fourth studio album, The Foam Alone, the crumbs are all here. You must decide if you want to follow the path or not. It’s not difficult but it does require action. If you are not interested in such effort, we still hope you enjoy what’s available here.
For additional crumbs, keep your eyes out for Matt Glassmeyer’s other instrumental groups: including Glassmeyer’s Live Band (a quartet often playing Meadownoise compositions in improvised ways), Global Abacus Supply (a trio of horns and electronics), Hompulon (a progressive ensemble co-led by Tom Spiker), Slow Accordion (the Nashville improv side project), and in exploratory duos with Ben Garnett, Britney Haas, Ross McReynolds and others.
We apologize for the deceit but only marginally.
