ARTIST HIGHLIGHT - MATT MACDONALD from THE CLASSIC CRIME

---

What more do we have than the moment we are in? This is a question we have found ourselves asking more every day so when we listened through The Classic Crime’s new album for the first time, we knew instantly that this was a conversation we wanted to have.

This week we are talking with Matt Macdonald, lead vocalist, and writer for the band, The Classic Crime. We discuss the inspiration behind their new album, Patterns in the Static and chat about Matt’s personal journey in taking the moment. He shares his experience in slowing down and leaning into the present which in turn helped inspire the feel of their new album. We also discuss the creative process and how to remove false narratives placed on us by others to see ourselves for what we truly are.

This week we talked about:

* The creative thought and events that inspired the new album, Patterns in the Static

* Getting in touch with the present moment

* Breaking down and opening up a previously closed narrative (what deconstruction is)

* Living outside the narratives placed on each of us

* Dealing with criticism

* Staying true to who you are in THIS MOMENT.

* The need for both chaos and order
