Drag City and Yoga Records are delighted to return to the music of Matthew Young. Following Recurring Dreams (1981, reissued 2014) and Traveler’s Advisory (1986, reissued 2010), Undercurrents (2025) collects eight oddly dissimilar pieces that somehow fit together perfectly. Ranging from heady synthesizer experiments to earthy dulcimer meditations, Undercurrents is unique enough to be called outsider while still occupying a musical world accessible to fans of many genres.
Composed and performed by Matthew Young
Produced by Matthew Young and Douglas Mcgowan
Poems “The Summer Girls” and “Her Key is Minor” by Marion Lineaweaver
