Hookworms’ MJ makes no "Mistakes", shares debut single as Family Scraps
Hookworms frontman and producer extraordinaire MJ has shared his first single under the name Family Scraps.
Early this year Matthew Johnson began sharing solo material, stating that there "will be a whole record as soon as I can get some studio time to finish it." It seems that time has finally arrived. Writing under the name Family Scraps, the musician has shared his debut single proper in the form of "Mistakes".
Echoing melodies and shimmers of distortion are as engaging as they are electric. Punchy rhythms power the song from its core, vocals uttering words of self-deprication with an astounding grace. There's a certain beauty in the breakdown, a blazing guitar solo guiding the way to the chorus' gentle harmonies.
Giving doom and gloom a polished sheer, "Mistakes" rises out of the darkness with an all natural elegance.
Described as "two songs about loss", "Mistakes" and its counterpart "It Follows" will be released in January. A full LP is expected to follow later next year.
