"Matt Keating is in that same class of songwriter as Ron Sexsmith and Elliot Smith, but doesn't sound at all like either of them. His songs are elegant in structure and packed with wordplay that can amuse, dazzle, or hit way too close to home," -- No Depression "Beautiful and honest songs of substance and melancholy" -- TimeOut London "His tunes are clear-cut, and his confessions and uncertainty ring true" -- Jon Pareles, New York Times Matt Keating’s newest record, QUIXOTIC—a double disc set- is the result of a reunion of sorts with long-time friend and producer Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah). The record is scheduled to be available electronically beginning in March 2008 and at retail nationally in June 2008. Performing on the record are Duane Jarvis (Lucinda Williams, Frank Black, PF Sloan) Jason Mercer (Ron Sexsmith, Ana Egge) and Jordan Richardson (Oliver Future). This will be Matt’s eighth nationally released record, the list including acclaimed records throughout the 1990’s on the ALIAS label (Archers of Loaf, Yo La Tengo, American Music Club) , the 2003 TILTAWHIRL on Alan MacGee’s POPTONES (UK) and Future Farmer (US), and last year’s Summer Tonight (Kealon Records).
