.Truman_Black: 'We can’t go into a new world and start to rebuild it exactly like the last one, and then start dealing with climate change. We need to start now.' The lead singer discusses the future of music in a post-pandemic world:
think that I’m Jim Morrison, but I know that I’m not. So now we have this game of, fucking, hip gyrating and then genuinely apologising for it. [Followed by] earnest, true statements where I’m being as real as I can be, and then having a fucking flashing Matty sign behind me [on stage]. That ridiculousness, and the elephants in the room are always the things that I find the most interesting. Everything apart from the music is ridiculous, because we all know too much.
Mate, I can’t remember fucking days. Every Friday I’d cancel the album. Jamie, our manager, would come and we’d sit down and listen to it and I’d be like ‘It’s shit. Fuck this’, but I kind of do that to make everyone else go, ‘No Matty, it’s great, you’re really clever’I wanted to ask about the collaborations on the record. Have you identified a throughline that connects them all?
To be fair, I think that girl’s getting a lot of shit online. Bless her, it was a fine piece, but I’m not a purveyor of fucking woke culture! Jesus Christ, what does that even mean? Can we not just talk about the thing and then decide what it is? As opposed to having a predetermined idea of what everything is? It’s difficult because we’ve given ourselves unlimited access to all of this information that’s no longer linear or curated, and we’re going ‘We need to talk about this!’.
This is gonna be one of my last interviews. Well -- not one of my last interviews, not ‘Matty turns into Prince’. I’ll do stuff that I want to do, but it’s not really worth it that much for me anymore. I like having a chat with someone who likes art and music, it’s a nice thing to do. But it’s going to be way safer for me to just put out records.
I guess there is a sense of feeling like you have to subscribe to an identity that aligns with your politics. As a white cisgender man, you can be disgusted to your own people’s attitude towards others. Is your advocacy, in some way, rooted in a sense of guilt?
