"WHAT HE POSSESSES IS THAT SAME GENUINE ESSENTIAL TONALITY FOUND IN THE VOICES OF JOHN PRINE, KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, JOHN DEE MARTIN AND BUDDY MILLER"
JOHN APICE, ASSOCIATE EDITOR, AMERICANA HIGHWAYS, 5/17/23
Midnight Dream Station
Midnight Dream Station is Matthew Alexander's 8th CD. The album sparkles with soaring vocals, playful interplay between Alexander's piano and guitar, and songs that engage the listener emotionally. Drums and electric bass by jazz musicians Al Sergel IV and Ron Brendle combine with contemporary co-production and engineering from Chris Green to create music that reflects on life's mysteries and lifts listeners' spirits in these uncertain times. Two videos from the album, "An Apolitical Man" and "The Upside of Down" showcase Alexander's versatility and appeal. CD now available on all streaming platforms.
Who Is An Apolitical Man?
We live in partisan times -- red/blue; democrat/republican; conservative/progressive. But what of the "apolitical man", that denizen of late night radio who just wants to tune out the fray? To live beyond labels and the media's mind manipulation? A man who has had his fill of pointless and exhausting debates that resolve nothing? Who can understand this man? Perhaps, only SIRI!
PRAISE FOR "AN APOLITICAL MAN" VIDEO
"Really unique footage of Alexander playing in unusual places, lively keys and guitar...the song echoes shades of the Bangles in its degree of playfulness over a serious critique"
Melissa Clark, Americana Highways
“An Apolitical Man” debuted at #15 on the Music Meeting Directory Singles Chart for October 4, 2022
