Jared Mattson and Ruban Nielson Announce Collaborative LP FEAR, Share Lead Single “AMERICAN EAGLE”
Jared Mattson and Ruban Nielson announce collaborative LP FEAR; lead single "AMERICAN EAGLE" and video arrive ahead of the June 5 Jagjaguwar release.
Jared Mattson of The Mattson 2 and Ruban Nielson of Unknown Mortal Orchestra have announced a collaborative album titled FEAR. The LP arrives 6/5 via Jagjaguwar. The lead single, “AMERICAN EAGLE,” is available now.
The two musicians met in 2024 after crossing paths on the internet and being fans of each other’s music. They recorded FEAR in June of that year in just a couple of days in Palm Springs.
We imagined the music living in in-between places — old motels with buzzing vacancy signs, abandoned gas stations at dusk, vast parking lots lit by sodium lamps where engines idle and lives briefly overlap. Spaces built for movement, not comfort. Bleak, anonymous, quietly human. Music that could sit inside that loneliness without trying to fix it — beauty carrying a low hum of danger underneath, calm without anesthesia.
Watch the Mark Francis-directed video for “AMERICAN EAGLE” below.
