“A lovely alt-country twang… you’ll be very into this if you’re also looking forward to the new Ruston Kelly or Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit records.”
– Backseat Mafia
“The honest and introspective lyricism DeBenedetti delivers is matched only by his sonic craftsmanship.”
– Musicology
“The dynamic, diverse album demonstrates the many talents of DeBenedetti as a songwriter, as he easily moves between genres with style and assurance.”
– V13
Today Charlie & Margot, the musical project of Matteo DeBenedetti, share the second single “sleeping” from upcoming debut album Joyride. The 8-song LP, out April 7th, spans from indie to Americana and alternative, and isn’t afraid to wear influences like Jason Isbell and Dr. Dog on its sleeve while still feeling like its own unique piece of art. Produced by longtime friend and collaborator Erik Kase Romero (the Front Bottoms, Lorde, The Bouncing Souls), the fully live tracked debut LP comes with a sense of urgency that can only instill the feeling this is just the opening page of a longer story to come.
“Sleeping is written about facing up to the idea that sometimes putting your trust in other people can ultimately end up being a bad thing for you, and sometimes it’s best to take matters into your own hands. In this instance, it’s very specifically regarding being a musician, being involved with other people as a touring musician (as a grown adult) at a DIY level, and navigating all the nuances that come with that.”
