Album Review: Matt Martians Welcomes You To The Last Party

I am such a big fan of The Internet’s work, in part, because they are more than a band; they are a collective. Each musician/ artist could easily stand alone, and, more importantly, make songs that feel stylistic. Matt Martians’ debut album, The Last Party, is a solo effort that continues his ability to make music a fashionable aesthetic. 

The paradox of Martian’s debut is that it may feel vibrantly wearable in sound, but it is, actually, based on his personal healing. After a hard time, The Last Party came as a balance between Martian’s desire to escape his hurt while also heal it. Though this may sound like a contrast, when you hear tracks like, “Knock Knock,” “Movin On,” and “Southern Isolation 2” you understand the trouble with pain is that it is everything you want to leave but all you must go through to get to joy. 

Vocally, Martians is as smooth as Hennessy, which is why songs such as, “Off My Feet _ Westside Rider Anthem,” and “Pony Fly ft. Steve Lacy” are ready-made for any house party. Sonically, he innate captures how oddly chill a really good party can be. Yes, there is dancing and, at least, one “misunderstanding” that has to be settled outside (lol!), but, for the most part, a gathering of friends is an opportunity to do what humans to best: talk and laugh. Thus, his lyrics pour like the thoughts and excerpts of conversations observing his surroundings. This is perfect considering every bassline and key rides from your sound system to the room as if beats could paint a wall. 

Overall, Matt Martians’ debut is another notch of admiration for The Internet in gathering so much talent under one group, while furthering proof that each could stand alone. Martians’ voice is effortlessly simple in delivery, and could make any ambiance cool down with ease. For More Information On Matt Martians And To Buy The Last Party Click Here
