City of Black & White Revisited

City of Black and White Revisited feels like returning to a childhood home after ten years away and finding the rooms smaller, quieter, and more meaningful.

By stripping away the rhythmic hip-hop influence and mid-aughts pop-rock sheen of the original 2009 recordings, Mat Kearney reveals the skeletal beauty of these songs. It is an album of ghosts and echoes, where the space between the notes is just as important as the melodies themselves.
