Matt Costa November 5, 2010

In Matt Costa’s world, the only constant is change. Every album is a chance for him to
push boundaries, explore uncharted waters, and try something new. Never has this been
more apparent than on Costa’s stunning third album, Mobile Chateau.

Mining his longtime love for ‘60s psychedelic superheroes like Donovan, 13th Floor
Elevators, the Zombies, the Electric Prunes, and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental
Band, Mobile Chateau is a bold step forward into the kaleidoscopic beyond. “I've always
been drawn to that sound,” Costa reveals. “I’ve been hearing songs like these in my head
for my whole life and Mobile Chateau is the closest I've gotten to getting those songs out
of my head and onto a record.”

Costa’s latest effort comes in the wake of his critically acclaimed 2006 debut, Songs We
Sing, and 2008’s well-received Unfamiliar Faces. His sophomore set yielded the
breakout single “Mr. Pitiful,” which featured prominently in the hit comedy I Love You,
Man and an iTunes ad campaign, and sent him criss-crossing the globe for well over a
year. There were stints with Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse, as well as a highprofile
tour with Oasis and Ryan Adams & the Cardinals.
