Timeless Atmosphere!
You Are Everything You Are is the new album from Matt Kassell, better known under his pseudonym Emker Cel. Its 12 tracks break new ground for Matt, exploring new ground and sonic textures while paying homage to some of his songwriting heroes. But, as he says himself, it nearly never happened.
Writing and pre-production began in 2019, with a year-long break from music scheduled for fatherhood. Matt’s son was born in August 2019 and Matt had pledged to devote the first year of his life to him. Then, almost exactly a year later, Covid hit, and hit Matt badly. Rather than return to work, Matt spent the next 6 months virtually house-bound, some days unable to walk, or even talk, let alone sing.
Rehabilitation came in the form of music and work. Slowly regaining energy, the drive to make music returned. Physical therapy and breathing exercises enabled Matt to start playing and singing again: first at home, then at an open mic night hosted by his good friend and labelmate Jonny Swift.
Instrumental recording recommenced in 2022. Soundtrack composer Dave Fox set up in Matt’s own Digital Man Studio in Barrow for a week, and the pair recorded live takes of the majority of the songs that would appear on YAEYA: Dave on drums, with Matt on vocals and guitar. Matt was then able to overdub the rest of the instruments at leisure, health permitting, for the next year.
