Release Notes:
"Famous Last Words" (2007) is the last CD release
for new york singer/songwriter Matt Rocker. After
several full-band recordings as "Matt Rocker & the
Constituents", he released the one-man solo album
"being, human" in 2005. "Famous Last Words" is
another self-produced gem by Rocker, this time
including a long line of guest performers, creating
11 truly eclectic sounding tracks with a very
consistent theme.
(according to wikipedia) the term "famous last
words" describes 'a sarcastic response to a
statement that shows lack of foresight or expresses
undue optimism, particularly about a task one plans
to undertake..'
Rocker applies that sentiment to themes of self
inquiry, personal relationships, and ruminations on
'the life of an artist' against backdrops of power
pop, intimate folk, and distorted versions of acid
jazz and electronic rock.
