Matt Jones & the Reconstruction

Ypsilanti songwriter Matt Jones, similar to how Colin Meloy of the Decemberists and William Elliott Whitmore do it, brings about a historic tone in his writing, exploring the things that we can't get away from, the sins of the past, those things and decisions that were made that are going to be paid for as long as there are people and time to pay. He is able to take songs that are as powerful and moving played solo or fully orchestrated and present them in a manner whose time somehow seems blindingly urgent and yet drawn from decades past. On his debut solo release EP "Right to Arms" (2005), Matt set the tone for all future releases with his darkly playful instrumentation and brutally honest lyricism. His second album, 2009's "The Black Path," received critical acclaim throughout the U.S. Midwest and East Coast. Shifting worlds between richly ornamented acoustic arrangements and driven electric works, the next release, "Half Poison, Half Pure" (2012), was an indie rock adventure backed by Matt's newly acquired band The Reconstruction. Matt comes to The Ark with a new release, "The Bountymen," featuring longtime collaborators Misty Lyn Bergeron (vocals), Colette Alexander (cello), and Serge van der Voo (double bass).
