St. Lucia: Matter Vinyl 2LP

Sophomore studio album from Brooklyns St. Lucia. Matter was the first time that frontman Jean-Philip Grobler started working with other songwriters. He flew to Los Angeles, and after a little apprehension, he spent time writing with Tim Pagnotta, the Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff, and tapped Chris Zane for production duties. The result is a collection of anthemic pop songs that are ready to soundtrack the rest of your year, if not you’re life! Includes the songs: “Dancing On Glass,” “Help Me Run Away,” and “Physical.” Eleven tracks in all. Released by Columbia.
