Yeah TBH I was never big in to 90’s Emo outside of maybe Pinkerton that I have heard referenced as an Emo influencer but I digress. I got into Saddle Creek and Barsuk bands through indie blogs and indie friends during college in the early 2000s but we never referred to them as Emo.In 2000 in college a friend said to me about the Weakerthans, "Jon, they're emo youd like them." They were right!
Not really maybe I missed their early stuff but they were making some post punk type stuff when I first heard them via Danse Macabre like DFA was putting em on mixes with Fisherspooner and Ratpure.The Faint?!
Oh man, this just reminded me that something called “electroclash” once existedNot really maybe I missed their early stuff but they were making some post punk type stuff when I first heard them via Danse Macabre like DFA was putting em on mixes with Fisherspooner and Ratpure.
Going to Uni in Winnipeg in the 2000's, one of the only real advantages was that there were Weakerthans concerts all the time. I must have seen them in every venue in Winnipeg by the end. John K Samson also would be a guest lecturer a fair amount at my university. It was pretty cool to see him around campus from time to time. His solo albums are equally as good as the Weakerthans albums if you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend them.In 2000 in college a friend said to me about the Weakerthans, "Jon, they're emo youd like them."

'Déjàvu' is the debut solo album from Matthew Tavares, aka Matty. Originally released in 2018 as a digital only release, it now sees the physical release it rightly deserves. Produced by his good friend, the acclaimed producer / songwriter Frank Dukes, ' Déjàvu' emerged during a period of rest for Matthew after heavy touring schedules with his former band BADBADNOTGOOD.
As with many of the most fertile creative minds, continual reinvention leads to exploration of new sounds and styles. ' Déjàvu' sees a departure from the jazz of BADBADNOTGOOD and a move into a more song-based storybook, with Matthew stepping up to the plate as lead-vocalist. As Matthew explains "I’ve always worked on my own stuff outside of BADBAD, and I’ve made music that sounds like this since I was 16. But when BADBAD started taking off, it was like “Ok, I can’t really make rock-y songwriter music anymore”. The inspiration for the album came after revisiting old favourites and classics such as The Zombies, The Beatles, shoegaze, and Krautrock records. It was also made in a difficult and reflective period in Matthew's life, with each song being a vignette to an individual. "I wrote each song about someone specifically, but then I realised very quickly afterwards that every song is about myself".
Even though on the surface the record could be loosely categorized in the rock / indie camp, its dreamy psych-pop vibe evokes much richer musical inspirations. Elements of jazz, AOR, and the compositions of 'golden-era' Brazilian arrangers such as Arthur Verocai enrich the songs. For the Mr Bongo release of ‘Déjàvu' we have included the beautiful bonus track 'Verocai Pt. II’ which was a product of the same recording sessions and rounds off the record.
Though a 'solo’ release, with its songwriting, content, and themes being very personal to Matthew, the record is backed by a cast of friends, family, including BADBADNOTGOOD members.
Mr Bongo are proud to present yet another sublime record from a unique, gifted, and necessary voice in contemporary music.
