As the twins started recording the songs that would become Introducing the Mattson 2, they kicked around the idea to have Barbee play on a track for the record. That initial recording went so well that the three began to write and practice with a whole album in mind. This is the result. This release includes a limited-edition.
Introducing the Mattson 2 is a quirky little debut release -- slightly longer than a typical EP but not quite long enough to be an album, it's also priced somewhere on the borderline between the two types of release; to complicate things further, it features a 'bonus track' that brings the album's total length to just about half an hour. This could be a sly joke, and if so, it's in keeping with the ironic layers evident in the music. Guitarist/bassist/keyboardist Jared Mattson and his drum-playing brother Jonathan Mattson (assisted by bassist Aakaash Israni and a shifting array of additional sidemen) deal in straight-ahead jazz with a seriously quirky edge: 'Longing of the Leftist' features skittery, almost jungly drumming, gorgeous vibes (courtesy of John McEntire), and startlingly twangy guitar; 'Julian the Mountain' is a lovely ballad with a free-for-all group solo in the middle; 'Met' is built on a nicely loping and faintly Latin feel. The Mattson 2 have cultivated a sort of shambolic tightness that creates a weird sort of inner tension -- they sound loose unless you listen closely, at which point you notice how perfectly in sync they are. Not everything works perfectly here; the trumpet on 'Airiar Britar' is a bit too pretentiously scrappy and the melody never really coheres, for example. But for the most part, this is a very interesting and impressive debut from a pair of significant young talents.

As I neared my destination across the street stood a blonde-haired man in sunglasses, shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops, with a well-used and waxed surfboard under his right arm. I grew up on the beach in Southern California and immediately yelled out the first thing that came to mind,
Introducing The Mattson 2 Rar
“Hey man, where are the waves?”
We talked. He said he was on a one year holiday from Australia, that he had just finished surfing in Sri Lanka and, now, was slowly making his way to Amsterdam by train. He had just arrived and had yet to find a place to stay so he was still carrying the board. We both checked in at the hostel and went out for some beer and darts at a local bar.
The Mattson 2’s release Feeling Hands rekindled memories of that bizarre random encounter. In a way my whole experience was an apt synopsis of The Mattson 2 album. Feeling Hands is a majestic cross of landlocked instrumental surf and jazz music. Identical twin brothers Jonathan (drums, hand claps, percussion) and Jared (guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer, electric bass, hand claps) Mattson, two San Diego beach rats with a love of jazz, channel The Ventures, Larry Carlton and Earl Klugh, mash them all together, and create a unique and enticing sound. It is surf music brought to terra firma. To accentuate the point freestyle skateboarders and musicians Ray Barbee and Tommy Guerrero help out on two tracks “Chi Nine” and “Give Inski’s.”
This is a sound synthesis album and it succeeds in a way very few such albums can. Think a nuanced Dick Dale meets Chet Baker on his way to grab some breezy George Benson. It is honest, clean and refreshing, Give it a listen. You won’t have to ask where the waves are. You will be riding one.
