In addition, The Smokey Thieves are also releasing a brand new EP featuring five songs titled “Songs From A Dark Room” on April 22nd, 2022. With all these exciting plans in store, The Smokey Thieves managed to develop a unique song formula, which combines energetic indie aesthetics with memorable and personal composition, which taps deep into Matt’s insights and experiences. As a drummer, Matt is all about building the songs not only from a melodic perspective but also from a rhythmic standpoint. Prior to focusing on The Smokey Thieves, Matt played and performed for various Los Angeles-based artists. The Smokey Thieves allows Matt to explore a much more dynamic and kaleidoscopic musical landscape, where anything goes. The music draws from a wide range of influences, including acts as diverse as Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Dawes, Delta Spirit, and Jason Isbell. Any fan of musicians like Elliott Smith, Dead Rituals, Audioslave, or Tool will also connect with The Smokey Thieve’s formula and with Matt’s creative sensibilities.

“Empatia” by Aurien & Jab Vix set the tone for an atmospheric new era

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
