Matt Cleare Shares Music Video For Latest Hit Single “4000!”
After impressing with his latest release, “4000!”, rising Atlanta-based artist Matt Cleare has returned with the song’s memorable music video. The video clip enlists director Jochi Saca, who has worked with the likes of Kay Flock and Cardi B. Matching the theme of the song, it shows Matt riding through the desert on his bike in the name of long-distance love.
Explaining more about the video, Matt says, “The inspiration was obscure, but at the same time—obvious. Outlaw movies, biker films, Tarantino productions. It’s reminiscent of a scene from this old American exploitation movie where this biker dude trips peyote in the desert and starts having visions of his former lover. I sent my ideas to Jochi and he ran with them. We did the whole thing in one day, sunup ’til sundown in the deserts surrounding LA. I lost my wallet out there and had to fly back to Atlanta the next day without it. A small sacrifice for what would become this crazy motion picture.”
Venture into the enigmatic soundscape of Amonte Noble’s latest EP, “River of Madness”, and prepare for a journey beyond the confines of conventional music. Crafted by the ingenious mind of Alexandre LaChance, also known as St.Laurent from Modern Loss, this EP transcends offers a fusion of influences and emotions.
As a multi-instrumentalist with decades of experience behind the drum kit, Amonte Noble channels his artistic prowess into an unapologetically bold exploration of sound. Through the intricate melodies of the piano and the rhythmic pulse of each track, listeners are transported into a realm where intensity collides with whimsy and beauty dances with discomfort.
Through poignant compositions like the titular track, Amonte Noble challenges societal norms with a defiant yet introspective gaze, inviting listeners to embrace the chaos and find solace in the journey towards acceptance.
When asked about what it means for him to have his EP out to the world, Amonte Noble has the following to share:
“It’s a giant step forward for me. I’m happy to put it out there so that people can see that there’s different ways to make music. I’m alone in this project, it’s my baby, and to be able to put together such a quality product is awesome to me!! I’m proud. And I kinda like it when people don’t understand what I’m doing, it’s a way to keep the project a little bit more to myself. Stay weird I once heard. Well this truly applies here. There’s so much contradictory feelings in this album that I sometimes didn’t exactly know how I felt when I first wrote some parts… but I know the feeling was genuine and visceral.
I played in front of pianists before… and they didn’t know what I was doing, trying to figure it out. I told them: I’m trying to figure it out as well!
I guess that’s the essence of this album; we’re all trying to figure it out!!!”
As you immerse yourself in “River of Madness”, heed the words of its creator: “I have a very strange way to build up my stuff.” Embrace the unconventional, embrace the journey, and let the music of Amonte Noble guide you through the uncharted depths of your own imagination.
