This is not something I entirely want to do or say. After this year has ended, Coma Cinema will end it’s run as a recording and performing entity.
It has been a long time coming, and the band itself has been a labor of misery for 8 years now. That’s almost a decade of non stop work, struggling to record and struggling to book and struggling to promote and struggling to only struggle more and more and more. I’m tired, I’m broke, I’m exhausted and I’m more and more detached from something I used to love so much.
Music has kept me alive and maybe it will continue to do so. We will be playing a few more shows and going on a mini tour with toro again in september but after that it may be years if we ever play again as coma cinema.
As for our last record, it is unlikely that it will see the light of day and that’s a shame because I feel it’s my best and most honest work, but I do not control the circumstances of the universe nor do I have a hand in luck good or bad.
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for listening to my records over the years, relating to and passing on the songs that were my only outlet for so long. I’ve met so many wonderful friends through this band and I’ve had so many great experiences, I can’t thank you enough.
Our website will remain functioning indefinitely so those who haven’t heard our albums may do so, and we still have a lot of time in the year to make new things and play shows so it’s not dead yet, just dying, but I promise to try harder than I ever have these last few months to really do the best I can.
I love you, thank you for your ears and all the joy you’ve brought me.
serfs up,
mat
