Matthew Sweet is an American singer-songwriter and
rock musician. He was part of the burgeoning music scene in Georgia
during the '80s, before gaining commercial success in the '90s. His
fourth album Altered Beast was recorded together with some
famous musicians, like Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), Jody Stephens
(Big Star) and Richard Lloyd (Television). It covers all sides of his
musical personality, going from country-rock to punk. It's a quite dark
album, presenting Sweet's pain in different aspects of life. "I don't
like knowing people. I don't like people knowing about me" he sings. The
best part is just to see this album grow after a few listens and that's
when it all falls together.
Altered Beast is available as a first pressing of 1.000 individually numbered copies on transparent blue coloured vinyl.
