Matthew Stubbs & The Antiguas

Even I have a hard time describing this album, Matthew Stubbs admits. People hear it, and ask, What kind of music is this? No idea! And Im happy about that.

As he should be. The self-titled debut from Matthew Stubbs & The Antiguas is a decidedly diverse and propulsive affair, combining psych rock with garage rock, acid blues, Afrobeat and funk (amongst several other styles). Its also cinematic at times, it feels like youve been invited to hear the worlds coolest soundtrack (note, there is a song called Tarantino).

Oh, and its also an instrumental album.

The other question people ask is, Why dont you have a singer? Well, back in the day, in the 50s and 60s, you had guys like Booker T, Link Wray, Dick Dale and Duane Eddy. They had bona fide hits as instrumentalists! Id like to bring back that spirit to popular music.

While this is his first record as part of the Antiguas, Stubbs had previously made his name as a solo performer, releasing two albums in the Memphis soul/blues tradition, Soulbender (2008) and Medford and Main (2010). As well, the Boston musician (and a guitarist since the age of 13) has served as the guitarist for Charlie Musselwhite since 2007 thats him on the legendary bluesmans 2014 Grammy-winning album Get Up!.
