about
I wrote “Matter” when the protests started happening nationally for this resurgence of the Black Live Matter movement. I was creating a lot of art, at the time, (both visual and sonic) in tribute to Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery etc…A lot of the visuals used in the video are those very same pieces. The song was brought to life by producer Sam Hoffman (Mereba).
Deep within
There’s a poisoning
in our spirit
In our country
In our neighbors
When they see us
Are we here
do we matter
All the blood
Over centuries
In the name of freedom
God and country
Our protectors
When they see us
Are we here
Do we matter
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again
To our friends
Shook and shattered
Scared to speak up
Against the patterns oh so clear
When you see us
Are we here
Do we matter
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again
We wanna breath again
We wanna breath again
We wanna breath again
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
Gently dipped in R&B and shaded with subtle electronic twists, this Melbourne 4-piece make soulful, joyful, folksy pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 27, 2014
Was looking for something Detroit-style that was available on seven inch, so my jukebox (which is with me in metro Detroit) would have something appropriate. This not only fits that bill perfectly, but the random search introduced me to TBG, which is not a name I'll be forgetting. So very smooth. dualityk
