The Franklin Electric announces fifth album, Oh Brother, out June 30
The Franklin Electric, led by talented singer-songwriter Jon Matte, announces the June 30th release of Oh Brother, the band’s fifth and most heartfelt album yet. Matte has seen the person closest to him, his brother, struggle with addiction and homelessness issues for most of his life. After years of shying away from discussion, Matte has infused the power of change and healing into his newest collection of songs.
“Oh Brother is an ode to my brother and to everyone that may be going through similar issues,” said Matte. “For my whole career I’ve stayed away from addressing my family, but addiction and personal struggle should not be kept secret, and I am ready to share this all as a story in hopes to help break a stigma that exists around these very common issues and encourage people to heal and express their lived experiences.”
This coincides with the announcement of a cross-Quebec tour supporting Oh Brother, which officially starts with an album release show on June 29th at the MTelus as part of the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Find full tour dates below, with other dates across Canada to be announced soon.
The latest single finds TFE at the peak of their craft. Out today, “Make No Mistakes” is an irresistible indie-folk anthem featuring a contagious chorus that will stick in listeners’ heads all day.
“It’s a fragile and mystical song that speaks about a rare type of honesty within ourselves,” says Matte. “It’s hard to learn to trust what’s in our heart, and ‘Make No Mistakes’ is a dedication to anyone searching for the answers.”
The music video was filmed in Portugal and features Matte exploring abandoned buildings and breathtakingly magical cliffside.
