  • Bio

    "dark Americana, neo-pop, and experimental rhythm n’ blues, with a touch of tribal fusion tied into it all" - James Carlson, Philadelphia Examiner.... "There's a touch of David Lynch in the cinematic sensibilities of these songs. The darkly voluptuous groove that defines this album conjures up images of creaking houseboats and illicit encounters in seaside joints. There's a drawling sensuality in both Angie Mattson's delivery and in the big fleshy guitar riffs that populate the background." - Barbara Bruederlin, No Depression...."..an experimental folk/pop utopia." - Brandon Lemons, Lemonade Magazine.... From a thunderous melodic chant to a gritty rockabilly strut, Angie Mattson's Skeleton Arm is cool and sophisticated with a wild and tender heart. Angie defies genre categorization with this inspired work of art. Co-produced by Mattson and guitarist Jeff Mendel at Violet Room Studios in Los Angeles, they confidently weave jazz, bluegrass, and tribal elements into a blanket of lyrical and ethereal folk songs. Mattson's delivery is calm and inventive, and her elegant songwriting weaves heartfelt stories with rich cinematic images. Stormy vocals sway from disarmingly intimate to angelic and soaring as she tastefully displays her powerful range. Lush, swampy guitars, haunting background vocals, and smoking hot drums complete this unique and warmly crafted album. "The songs are mostly about relationships past and present, my heart and body seem to control everything I do, and my mind cleans up the mess" Citing influences like Twin Peaks, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, Tom Petty, Erykah Badu, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, The Latin Playboys and the balmy soul of the south. "These are a handful of the songs I have written in the past few years, and a lot has happened in those years, there is a lot of things I write about that I don't talk about in life, things I am not even aware of sometimes, these songs have a mind of their own, they well up and spill out.".... After the release of 2007's Given to Sudden Panic and Noisy Retreat, which was recorded by Nathan Larson (Shudder to Think, A Camp) in Malmo, Sweden, Mattson spent several months touring the US and Canada with bands like Uh Huh Her, Suzanne Vega, Melissa Ferrick, and Justin Currie. Her song Drive was on the book soundtrack for The Seven Rays, and she’s had several placements in film and television. Her song Thank You was the free Discovery Download on iTunes with over 140,000 downloads, and the videos for Drive and In Violet received regular airplay on the Logo Network after she hosted their music video show NewNowNext. Already in 2010 she has had Drive in a Mazda spot and Cold Soul will be the song during the closing credits of the upcoming thriller And Soon The Darkness. She plans to head back out on the road in summer/fall 2010. Angie will be releasing Skeleton Arm on her own label Radio Nine Records..... Angie Mattson grew up on Lake Michigan, before one day deciding to skip town for warmer temperatures. While on a sailboat bound for South America, Angie taught herself to play guitar. When plans of crossing the Pacific were fowled by El Nino Angie moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music with the encouragement of friends and family..... Angie currently resides in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles.... ..........
