MATTIE (Dallas TX)

Leaving Records

MATTIE is a singer-songwriter who worked with producer Black Taffy to release JUPITER’S PURSE EP. “The five songs on Jupiter’s Purse are from the point of view of Mhuv, a character MATTIE uses to explore the duality of the self. The process of coming into their own is in constant flux across the EP, full of uncertainties and doubt that spider out into uneasy, eerie songs.”- Pitchfork

Explaining the EP’s theme, MATTIE states, “I’m very fond of the planet Jupiter in the astrological sense because Jupiter represents expansion. It also represents the planet that takes everything that it is that we desire to see for ourselves in this life and it expands it, right? I was inspired to call it Jupiter’s Purse because it also reminded me of a female womb in a sense, the incubation process that happens within the womb, and kind of the purse being the womb of Jupiter. And the planet is basically holding our things and incubating them until it’s time to expand them.”

MATTIE stylistically blends trip-hop, futurism, and dark soul together to weave a unique sonic experience that is impactful and hypnotic.
