Matt Pike releases new music video for ‘Land’

MATT PIKE has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Land, is taken from the the SLEEP guitarist and HIGH ON FIRE frontman’s upcoming debut solo album, Pike Vs The Automaton, which is scheduled to be released on Friday.

Speaking about the new song, Pike says, “Land was written after I had just come home from a tour. It’s like an old blues song. I was thinking of it as like a bunch of old dudes in a subway doing a doo-wop thing. It has the feel of a two-step like my Mom used to dance to, like Country Western. It’s totally about depression and leading a hard life. Later, I was playing the song for Brent Hinds from MASTODON who had come out to Portland to jam with me and he laid down this smokin’-ass Billy Gibbons kind of solo! I did one solo and then he did his solo and I’m like, “You’re a dick,” [laughs]. The bass player from Brent’s other band WEST END MOTEL, Steve McPeeks, played some stand-up bass – both plucking and with a bow – and it really brought out this depth to the song. I’ve never written a song like that and recorded it and made it as cool as it is. It’s totally different.”

Pike Vs The Automaton is set for release on February 18th via MNRK Heavy. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
