Out of the dark matt hires live sessions ep
Live Sessions is the third EP by American pop-rock singer-songwriter Matt Hires, released on March 8, 2011. This new release is a compilation of five live tracks, recorded with a full band at various times during Hires' 2009-2010 State Lines Tour. Upon its release, the EP broke into the top 10 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart.
Contents
The EP featured three previously released material, as well as a new track "I Always Lose", and a cover of the American rock band MGMT's hit song "Kids".
Cover artwork
The ep's coverart was design and made by C1 Design & Photography. The original photo was taken by Rebecca Siegrist, the Creative Director and Founder of C1 Design, at the State Lines Tour.
Concept
The band and I just went into a studio and all sat around in a circle and played the songs and tried to approach them in little, different ways. Some of them are a little more stripped down than playing them live and some of them, there's a little more instrumentation. There will be different sounds, even on the songs people have heard before.
