Matt Wilga (drummer for Western MA hardcore bands the Cancer Kids, Failures, and Bucket Full of Teeth, and leader of the Stoned Ambassadors) phones it in from Brooklyn, NY. The last coupla years have been great for drummers stepping out from behind the kit- the Intelligence, Lover!, Ty Segall, Primitive Hands, etc.- and now the Stoned Ambassadors can be added to the list. Matt's solo 7" debut last year on Labor of Love was exactly that, a beautiful looking and sounding document of a dude coming into his own, three wistful pop nuggets etched into layers of JAMC-inspired 4-track hiss. I had no choice but to love it. Here, Matt doubles his recorded output with two songs from the single and a buncha Stoned Ambassadors songs in the making. Can't wait to hear more!
