MATTHEW GOOD
Lights Of Endangered Species (Universal Music Canada)
SINGER/SONGWRITER Matt Good has shown over the course of his career that he has what it takes to keep a strong fan base north of the 49th parallel. A few years ago he came clean about some troubling personal problems and since then he has become a kind of Canuck rock star advocate for mental-health issues.
His music changed along with his world outlook and where once he was a kind of intense indie-rocker now we have an artist that plays the downer card at practically every opportunity.
Lights is a fine album and Good uses a tonne of interesting arrangements and musical instruments to get his music across in a way that should be fêted. Lyrically this album is as bleak and gloomy as they come though, and if you are having a bad day, songs like What If I Can’t See The Stars Mildred or Set Me On Fire won’t lift your spirits. ‘Ö’Ö’Ö
