From a long creative process shaped by illness and introspection to the emotionally charged visuals by Fred Stonehouse, Matt shares the deeply personal journey behind the album’s creation and why this record means more than any before.

Matt reveals how a devastating battle with ulcerative colitis left him physically and mentally broken, leading to ego death, creative burnout, and long periods away from the stage. But through it all, music remained, if not as a lifeline, then as an inevitable force.

He explains how his relationship with fellow musician and now-wife Karen Diō brought clarity, love, and fresh purpose. The conversation also touches on the irony of fame, the realities of DIY artistry, and the bittersweet experience of returning to festivals like 2000 Trees.
