Santa Rosa Fangs

From his early days of self releasing EPs to recording with Belle & Sebastian and writing film scores, Matt Costa has forged his own unique path through the world of indie-folk. His experiments in lo-fi, experimental sounds and cinematic storytelling both feel very rooted in his Southern California upbringing, culminating in his epic, conceptual 2018 Dangerbird debut, Santa Rosa Fangs. His follow-up album for Dangerbird is Yellow Coat, a masterpiece of heartbreak from a preternatural tunesmith, its raw emotion channeled into gently swinging, hooky love songs, most of them awash in strings and mellotron and harmonies and groove.
