Matthew Good wrote "Zero Orchestra" on his own, words and music both, and it surfaced in 2011 on Lights of Endangered Species, his fifth studio album. That's the record where the Canadian songwriter stepped away from the guitar-driven rock he'd made his name on and piled on the layers.
He made it with Warne Livesey, their sixth record together counting the Matthew Good Band years, and the album is stacked with horns, strings, woodwinds and piano, a nod to the big bands he grew up on, from Glenn Miller to Count Basie, and to the restless modern jazz of Miles Davis and Mingus. The words, as ever with Good, stay tangled up in politics and his own private weather.
