m. sage’s () tender / waiting shimmers across landscapes today, a stroll through rediscovered terrain 🌾🩰
tender / waiting sprouted from matt’s return to colorado after nearly a decade in chicago, where he now nurtures a couple acres of neglected, overgrown space with his family thirty miles outside his hometown. operating out of a diy studio fashioned from a pole barn and nestled among deeply familiar foothills and pastures, matt began tracing the footsteps of his former selves through the dirt-smeared lens of his present
as a friend, matt rarely fails to cross the rvng mind each day, yet his presence as an artist continues to surprise us. t / w was not the album we were anticipating from matt, but is the album we needed. listening to t / w feels like a lingering walk across an open field, sometimes familiar and embedded with memories, sometimes entirely new. each listen offers a different perceptual experience, revealing new layers of intimacy and abstraction
so happy you’re home, matt. and honored we can provide a second home, in tangible and intangible ways 🏠
tender / wading is available now in limited edition lp with alternative cover design, black lp, japanese import cd with obi and exclusive bonus tracks (via ), and digital formats, all available via the rvng webstore and across all digital platforms
