Today, Atlanta-based band Mattiel announces their second album Satis Factory, which is their debut for ATO Records. It will be out on June 14, 2019. In addition to the news about their new album, the band has released its first single, an energetic nugget of power-pop centered around Mattiel Brown’s energetic, forceful vocal delivery.
The accompanying video carries a similar aesthetic to the album art and title, with Brown performing a karaoke version of the song in a cement factory. The video was created by the singer and namesake of the band, along with Matt Addington and Alan Sabir.
“I had about four weeks to call Matt, co-creator along with up, plan everything, find a location that would give us permission to film, source props,” Brown said. “It was crazy, but a lot of fun. He brought in this amazing DP, Alan Sabir, from Calgary. Alan freehanded a lot of the performance shots and our script was pretty loose. This gigantic cement factory outside of Atlanta gave us free reign over the entire facility for two days – it kinda felt like running around inside a video game with all the tunnels, catwalks and passageways. And they had this amazing mint-green control room that hasn’t been changed since the early 60’s… It was a dream.”
