Toby Goodshank Bio:
The soft-spoken, enigmatic Goodshank made his high-profile debut playing acoustic guitar in The Moldy Peaches (Rough Trade Records, now featured on the Juno Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Rhino Records, #1 album on the Billboard Top 200). Once that band began its indefinite hiatus, Goodshank kicked his solo career into overdrive, pumping out albums the way some men pump out semen, touring Europe twice with the likes of Jeffrey Lewis (Rough Trade) and fellow Moldy Peach Kimya Dawson (K Records). In a relatively short amount of time, Toby Goodshank has become a crucial voice in the underground NYC music scene, with unconventional song-structures and surreal lyrics supported by an uncommonly professional approach to his performative craft.
Recent albums like "Pray to You" (2008) and his new untitled effort (2009) find Goodshank synthesizing his history of sonic moods into a seamless blend of chunky guitars, crystal-clear vocals, fringe sexuality, and a rotating cast of Anti-Folk comrades.
Major Matt Mason USA is the solo project name for New York City based songwriter and producer Matt Roth (Schwervon! & Kansas State Flower). He's been a part of the New York Antifolk music scene for nearly 15 years. He runs Olive Juice Music, an online distro for DIY music as well as an underground studio producing music for hundreds of cutting edge artists including Kimya Dawson, Jeffery Lewis, Adam Green, The Wowz, and Dufus.
MMM's music has been described as "Urban folk songs for the disenchanted and the enchantable.²
CMJ's Douglas Wok says, ³Major Matt Mason's songs are absolutely charming.²
Uncut magazine has described MMM's music as possessing: "...witty social observation, a hangdog stare and no-frills production that sounds like gas bubbling from leaky pipes."
Zeitgeist calls it "Beautifully and brutally possessed with a kind of raw honesty, uneasy listening at its best."
Drownd in Sound says, "The man's got it. Bottle whatever 'it' is, and the world'd be a better place.²
