In An Enclosed Space by Matt Menovcik

Picture
 In An Enclosed Space is the new ambient pop album by Matt Menovcik (Saeta, Vinca Minor, Rope, Inc.). It was written and recorded during a time of wild fire smoke, the demise of a relationship and the pandemic. The album began with production by S.E. Sharma in January of 2020, which was shut down after two months due to COVID-19 restrictions. While waiting to resume production, Menovcik contacted longtime collaborator Kramer about finishing the sessions remotely. Recording was completed in Menovcik's home studio and sent to Kramer for adding additional arrangement and production assistance. Due to technical difficulties and Kramer's busy schedule as Artist in Residence with Joyful Noise for 2020, Menovcik finished mixing, recording and mastering the album in early 2021.
The album sounds like what Nick Cave's The Boatman's Call would have sounded like if Eno had produced it - classic songwriting with lush arrangements and plenty of emotion.
