Hear Matthew E. White's First New Song From Domino Debut

Despite White declaring that "everyone knows rock and roll is cold" in the first verse, "Rock & Roll Is Cold" is actually the opposite, an effortlessly cool celebration of a song with a highly addictive piano melody and a slinky R&B groove. Sounding brighter and bolder than 'Big Inner' with some serious pop chops in tow, it's unmistakably a Matthew E. White track - full of character and confidence as well as those pristine horn arrangements we've come to love.

"Rock & Roll is Cold is about how we continue to take, the most vibrant, soulful, deep music and make it a caricature of itself. We look into it, force it to turn in on itself, force it to turn back on itself, and we lose the source, we lose the mystery, the magic, and we seem to be unaware that any of that is even happening." - Matthew E. White

On March 3, White will play a special album release show at Brooklyn's BRIC Arts Center titled Southern Lights Tonight, where he'll premiere 'Fresh Blood' with the Spacebomb house band comprised of a 30-piece orchestra. Tickets and more info available here.

'Fresh Blood' will be available on CD, vinyl, and via digital download. There is also a special edition of the album, which is a double LP gatefold heavyweight vinyl containing a bonus LP titled 'Fresh Blood: No Skin' - a full length minimalist mix of the entire album, minus strings/horns or choir. You can pre-order 'Fresh Blood' via iTunes or DomMart.
