Matador, the second album from indie-pop singer/songwriter Joel Streeter, features some notable Bay Area musical talent including Jim Bogios of Counting Crows on drums, and Jerry Becker, multi-instrumentalist for Train, returning to produce as he did on Joel’s debut, Hear Me Out. Recorded over the course of 3 years at Tiny Telephone Studios and Hyde Street Studios, Matador also features contributions from James Deprato (Chuck Prophet) on guitar, Matt Cunitz (John Vanderslice, All Ones, Mushroom) on keyboards, and guest vocals from Megan Slankard (www.meganslankard.com) and Brad Brooks (www.brad-brooks.com).
Early Praise for Matador:
“With a touch of Neil Finn’s wry sensitivity, a hint of Britpop snarl, and some Revolver-era Beatles’ arrangements, Joel Streeter has written a collection of tunes worthy of the star-lineup that helped him record it. Players who are members of or worked with the likes of Counting Crows, Train, Mushroom, Sheryl Crow, Ben Folds, John Vanderslice, and Chuck Prophet lent their significant chops and sensibilities to the process, creating a classic-sounding pop album full of bounce, melodic arch, and lyrical substance. But Streeter is no aping Anglophile, either. Though his compositions confidently draw a lineage back to the British Invasion, he sings in an earnest and unmistakably American voice. It is this combination that gives his music a strong sense of uniqueness. “Matador” is introspective and connective, deep and bright, ambitious and comforting." - Editor’s Pick at CD Baby
