The Suitcase Junket - Mean Dog, Trampoline (2019)

On April 5, 2019, the highly-anticipated follow up to The Suitcase Junket's label debut, Mean Dog,Trampoline will be released on Signature Sounds. Produced by Steve Berlin (Jackie Greene, Rickie Lee Jones, Leo Kottke) of Los Lobos, Mean Dog, Trampoline marks a deliberate departure from the self-recorded, homespun approach of The Suitcase Junkets previous efforts. In creating the album, Matt Lorenz pulled from a fantastically patchwork sonic palette, shaping his songs with elements of jangly folk, fuzzed-out blues, and oddly textured psych-rock. Engineered by Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., Speedy Ortiz) and mixed by Vance Powell (Jack White, Houndmouth), Mean Dog, Trampoline preserves The Suitcase Junkets unkempt vitality, but ultimately emerges as his most powerfully direct album so far.
