Atlanta-based rock-Americana duo Mattiel have announced their first album since 2019’s Satis Factory, Georgia Gothic. The album will be released March 18, 2022, via ATO Records. Mattiel also shared the video for lead Georgia Gothic single “Jeff Goldblum.”
“Jeff Goldblum” is a spunky, galactic track based on frontwoman Atina Mattiel Brown’s crush on the song’s namesake. In an ode to the actor, the video is composed of stitched scenes from Earth Girls Are Easy, a film in which Goldblum stars as an alien.
On her inspiration for the single, Brown explained, “Well, my crush on Jeff Goldblum is very real. He inspired the words—but this is more of a dream where a Jeff look-a-like meets me in a bathroom.”
With a soft charm and alt-rock sound, Mattiel’s Georgia influence is apparent on “Jeff Goldblum.” Georgia Gothic serves as a homage to the state, embracing the musical legacy of the location and intertwining it with their established sound even further.
Mattiel will embark on a 2022 North American tour in February, including a stop at SXSW. The duo will also tour Europe following their North American run. They recorded a hometown Paste Studio on the Road session this past June at Sweetwater.
