Hospital Music, Matthew Good's third solo album, came out on July 31, 2007, five years after the Matthew Good Band called it a day. Good produced it himself and played almost everything on it, leaving the drumming and a handful of guitar and bass lines to others, and the result feels close and unguarded, a one-man record in the best sense.
Folk rock textures sit alongside the brooding alternative rock he made his name on, with Good's voice carrying most of the weight. "Born Losers" led the way and got a rare shot at American ears when the U.S. iTunes Store made it Single of the Week the week the album came out, no small thing for an artist whose only previous U.S. album had been 2001's Beautiful Midnight. Back home, Hospital Music was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2008 Junos, and Vancouver artist Jeremy Crowle painted the cover.
