Dayton, Ohio’s M. Ross Perkins has an affinity for blending 60’s British Invasion music with the sounds of American pop standards with just enough of a contemporary veneer to let you know the sound is an homage to the time, not a hint to its release date.
His third album What’s the Matter, M Ross? Takes the introspective look the album title implies, making it his most existential and transcendental album to date. The album blends cosmic psych pop into the mix, sounding a bit like a Harry Nilsson-Gram Parsons-sometimes King Gizzard collaboration made for a nostalgic drive through Laurel Canyon.
What’s the Matter, M Ross? Is out May 2nd.
