Matt Nathanson - Show Me Your Fangs (2015)

Matt Nathanson's new album Show Me Your Fangs his tenth studio recording delves deeper and further into the complexities and observations of everyday life than any of his previous albums. Songs such as "Giants," "Bill Murray," "Adrenaline," "Washington State Fight Song," and the title track tell vivid stories touching on the overall theme of self-identity and how we choose to reveal ourselves. These vignettes are all offered wrapped in richer, musical textures with Nathanson s signature seductive hooks. In as much as these songs have a solemn message, leave it to Nathanson to offer the perfect counter balance with the sultry 70s soul groove of single "Gold In The Summertime."
