I'm thrilled to finally share my new EP 'Stranger Than Fiction' with you. I spent my younger years creating music that I loved and believed in, but always kept a part of myself guarded. I went to school for music and moved across the country for it but never had the courage to put all of myself into my songs until now. I was afraid of letting people down, of making myself a punchline and of the nasty YouTube comments I'm sure to receive.
One day around my 26th birthday (and after listening Beyoncé's "Grown Woman" one too many times), I decided to stop letting fear run my life. Personally and professionally, I feel free for the first time in a long time, and 'Stranger Than Fiction' will always be the representation of that. People always say 'write what you know', and I feel like I've done that with this record (i.e. why there are so many break-up songs :P).
So even if this album sells exactly zero copies and I lose the few (amazing) fans I have, this is my proudest work, and I truly hope you give it a listen.
Love always,
Matt Palmer
