Sick Country - New Album

Content Warning: Strong Language

Matt McNish is a queer DIY musician based in Chicago. Overworked, under-appreciated, and nagged by the vague intuition that something is very wrong, Sick Country is about how the modern world can feel like a vise. Written in the latter half of 2019, the album now bears the unanticipated weight of COVID-19 and the economic burden that it has placed on unprotected workers. Oddly prescient, the piece balances experimentation with traditional pop structures à la Kate Bush, Björk, and (Sandy) Alex G.
