Biography

Edmonton, Canada (2006 – present)

From humble beginnings, the talented young Canadian Matthew Ogle (from Edmonton, Alberta) occasionally made poor-quality basement demos under a variety of pseudonyms. Sometimes his “friends”, who love and believe in him very much, renamed the files, and through the power of Audioscrobbler and world-dominating international espionage, eventually backed the production for his 2006 album release.

What may seem like a burlesque musical satire is surprisingly intimate — “From Alberta to the Albert: Live sessions from the Hot Grapefruit lounge” is an unexpectedly high benchmark for a first release. The songs unabashedly suggest long, hot and gritty hours spent in the studio and “auréoles sous les bras”.

The musical variety is staggering — the themes are often of an autobiographical nature revealing Ogle’s innermost thoughts. From the almost childlike poignant melody of “My Care Bear Pyjamas” (with an incredible harmonica solo) to the nu-post-awesomecore songs “Baby Got Rack” (a fantastic reprise of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s notorious rap single), Ogle constantly amazes. The down and dirty “I’m a rocker, I rock out” (with incredibly realistic wookie howls / guitar) and the incontestably awesome “Your Mom, Your Face” is another example of the variety on this album.
