The Reason Is Love with Matt Blankenship Jr.

In this episode with Matt Blankenship Jr.,  we take a deep dive into the relationship between consciousness and spirituality and how this relationship not only influences creativity but influences the way we think about our life! --------------- Matt Blankenship Jr. is a songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles, leader of tropical indie-pop band The Sometimes Island. Synth-heavy pop laced with introspective lyrics and bright, colorful sounds, it’s the kind of music you can both sway your hips to and appreciate both physically and intellectually.  “I think the point of our music is movement,” says Blankenship Jr. “We make music that people can participate physically with, not just think about. Something to get you into your body and out of your head for a while." Led by charismatic frontman Matt Blankenship Jr., drummer Nick Lopiano, and guitarist Felipe Valdivia, the trio has seen immense success in their 4 years together, including over 9 million streams on their latest EP Beverly & Barbara, and a #2 spot on Apple’s Alternative Chart, beating out Billie Eilish. The Bad People EP has even been called “the future of synthpop” by Buzznet. With their quick rise to success, it may come as a surprise that Sometimes Island is label-free. A DIY band at heart, they’ve seen incredible support from their community and fans, allowing them to grow as rapidly as they have.
