Matt Jasper Revisits and Reimagines His Past on New Album Catalog, Out November 4th, 2022.
A decade-spanning retrospective, re-recorded with new perspective and renewed emotion
Matt Jasper’s new album Catalog is a poignant and compelling collection of ten newly recorded versions of songs from throughout his back catalog, releasing November 4, 2022. Stripped down yet sonically rich, Catalog brings together tracks originally penned over the course of Jasper’s career, now revisited with a steady hand, nuanced arrangements, and emotional clarity. The songs—ranging from the plaintive ache of “So Alone” to the swirling reflections of “Words In Sand”—capture the passage of time and the growth that comes with it. Jasper’s multi-instrumental performances shine alongside delicate production from longtime collaborator T.K. Anomie, creating a cohesive and intimate sonic world of indie rock, pop rock, and singer-songwriter introspection.
From its opening line “Where Did I Go?” to the closing heartbreak of “I Didn’t Know What to Do,” Catalog invites listeners into a landscape of yearning, resolve, and memory. With acoustic and electric guitar textures, melodic bass, and touches of trombone and keys, the album balances minimalism and warmth. Featuring backing vocals and production work by T.K. Anomie—who also co-handled engineering, mixing, and mastering—Catalog is both a reclamation and a reimagining, inviting new listeners and longtime fans alike to hear these songs in a new light. It’s a perfect entry point for those just discovering Jasper’s work, and a rewarding deepening for those already familiar.
“These songs have lived many lives, in various forms and stages of growth—kind of like me,” says Jasper. “Recording Catalog was a way to take ownership of the past, but with the perspective I have now. It was a chance to let go of how they once sounded, and focus instead on how they feel now. Every note and mix decision came from that place—of reconnecting with something I’d written and making peace with it.”
Catalog is available everywhere November 4, 2022.
