Description
Georgia Gothic, a magic third in Mattiels run of full-length albums, was shaped in the quiet seclusion of a woodland cabin in the north of the Atlanta duos mother-state. Cultivated by time spent together on the road touring the first two albums, it is this newfound sense of intimacy between Mattiels members that enabled the writing of Georgia Gothic not as two separate musicians, but rather as one creative entity. The album remained within the four walls of Brown and Swilleys private world for much of its evolution with recording taking place in a simple studio set up by the pair in the borrowed room of a dialysis centre, Swilley in the producers seat until, nearing completion, it was transferred into the trusted hands of the Grammy-award-winning John Congleton (whose extensive list of credits includes artists as diverse as Angel Olsen, Earl Sweatshirt, Erykah Badu and Sleater Kinney) for mixing. Not only does the affinity between its creators translate into an electric synergy between Georgia Gothics words and music the brine-shock of Browns taut lyricism cut against the bourbon-smoothness of Swilleys instrumentation but here too are the palpable spoils of experimentation, each party trustful enough of the other to trial and error their practices into new geometries.
