MATT MAYS
ANNOUNCES NEW STUDIO ALBUM
“COYOTE” FOR RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
LEAD TRACK “TAKE IT ON FAITH” AVAILABLE AT iTUNES NOW
Artistry
doesn’t follow a calendar year. It doesn’t make or meet deadlines. It
ebbs and flows. It travels, explores and arrives when it wants to.
Though Halifax local Matt Mays has been technically absent from the music cycle that last saw 2008’s Terminal Romance,
the four-time Juno Award nominee has been anything but idle. He’s been
making new music at his pace and doing things the way he wants to do
them. “If it
means changing continents or just walking back and forth in my kitchen,
there needs to be constant change and movement. There always has to be
water moving through my gills,” says Mays.
He now has a new record called Coyote (Sonic/Warner) that will be released on September 4, 2012
“I've always loved animals that are beautiful but dangerous,” explains Matt. “It's
a good analogy for life. Coyotes are native to Canada, Mexico and the
United States and that's where I lived while writing this album.”
Lead single “Take It On Faith” is available at iTunes now. http://itunes.apple.
Mays has constantly evolved his sound and musical path from early days as a member of The Guthries, and his successful run with El Torpedo and all the while keeping his solo work varied and unpredictable. But with Coyote,
Mays has delivered a rollicking rock record that will not be ignored.
Upcoming summer show dates follow below. National tour dates will be
announced soon.
