Matt Holubowski is back with “End Scene” from his upcoming album
Montreal-based singer/songwriter Matt Holubowski gives us a glimpse of his forthcoming new album, Like Flowers on a Molten Lawn, set for release on March 24th, 2023, via Audiogram, with a brand new single, + video for “End Scene.”
Opening with an audible “Here we go,” the paradoxically titled “End Scene” tells a story beginning with the end.
“It’s the deep breath you take before diving into the unknown. Out of your comfort zone, out of your daily routine. It’s the start of something new and chaotic. It’s about gracefully embracing your fate instead of resisting it. Facing it calmly, clearheaded, focusing on what is in front of you. It’s a close encounter with the end of the world, while knowing that there will be something afterwards,” explains Matt.
Boldly spanning almost seven minutes, the single is divided into three distinct movements. The first part highlights how vast a lifetime’s work can be, each moment stacking up to form who we are. The next depicts the ease with which everything can vanish. Existence is inherently fragile. And the final part facilitates the transition from chaos to serenity, with the knowledge that the end is not only inevitable but also desirable. “End Scene” offers a complete, complex statement, with interconnecting ideas and the title of the upcoming new album to be found in the first verse.
Created with seasoned collaborators such as Pietro Amato (production, sound recording, mixing, brass arrangements, French horn, pterodactyl, Farfisa and Korg Korg monotron synths, modular drums), Simon Angell (guitars), Stéphane Bergeron (drums, vocals), Marc-André Landry (bass, Sub37 synth, vocals), Marianne Houle (Yamaha PS-20 keyboard, marxophone, vocals), Amy Horvey (trumpet), Jean-Nicholas Trottier(trombone), Véronique Audet-Gagnon (vocals), Mark Lawson (mix) and Harris Newman(mastering), “End Scene” is a deliberate, sublime introduction to Matt’s new album (which is the follow up to his previous critically acclaimed releases, Solitudes and Weird Ones).
