Fusing elements of indie rock, pop rock, folk, and ambient soundscapes, Jasper brings fresh energy and perspective to a decade\u2019s worth of songwriting. Drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Ben Folds, Jeffrey Lewis, Father John Misty, Kim Deal, and The Beach Boys, the album reinvents old favorites with a refined, immersive sonic approach. Featuring dynamic instrumentation\u2014including electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and trombone\u2014Catalog Two reflects Jasper\u2019s evolution as both a musician and storyteller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leading up to the album\u2019s release, Jasper will unveil two singles: \u201cTiny Tragedy\u201d (March 7, 2025) and \u201cLisa Fernandez\u201d (March 14, 2025). \u201cTiny Tragedy\u201d is a Springsteen-esque rock ballad tackling themes of helplessness and grief through the lens of local news and personal loss. \u201cLisa Fernandez\u201d leans into pop rock, blending infectious hooks with introspective storytelling about love and regret. These singles offer a glimpse into the album\u2019s expansive emotional and musical range\u2014balancing sharp, observational lyricism with rich, dynamic arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Revisiting these songs wasn\u2019t about nostalgia\u2014it was about reinterpreting them through everything I\u2019ve learned since first writing them,&#8221; says Jasper. &#8220;Some songs demanded a bigger, more textured approach, while others needed to be stripped down to their essence. Catalog Two is a reflection of where I\u2019ve been, but more importantly, where I\u2019m going.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catalog Two will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 21, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Jasper Announces Catalog Two, A Bold Reimagining of His Back Catalog, Out March 21, 2025 Singer-songwriter Matt Jasper returns with Catalog Two, a collection of newly recorded versions of songs from his back catalog, set for release on March 21, 2025.
