#1
at radio off the album making me happy af. Thank you all for berating your radio stations and thank you to said radio stations 🙌🏻
I just wanna say thank you cause hallucinogenics is now charting at radio and thats insane cause it’s straight up two years old and it’s all because you have streamed it so consistently for two years.
Idk who needs to hear this but no matter how many signs you hold up, or how many times you say if I don’t play *insert song here* you’ll cry, I am still not a jukebox. I am human baby boy and I will play my human baby boy set that we practiced for weeks prior to tour. God bless u
we did NOT go back into the studio and create stripped versions of every song on Bank On The Funeral and said stripped album definitely does NOT come out at midnight
This whole record is about how much I hate when people don’t walk on those moving walkways in airports. Whole record about that. I just hope it changes things.
I like meeting fans but if you see me in public and you want to say hi I need to you to mentally prepare yourself to not be fucking weird ok be normal ok I believe in you
well Hallucinogenics snuck it’s way into
#4
on the alt radio billboard chart. Now would be a great time to pester your local radio stations to play it until they block ur number ❤️
I hope this record finds its way to the people who need to hear it. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of it and thank you to everyone who is about to stream the thang! MY DEBUT ALBUM BANK ON THE FUNERAL IS AVAILABLE NOW!
Thank you all for your support. I always get in my feels on release days because I feel so privileged to be in a place where I can release something and know that people will listen. I get to make songs and pay my bills and financially support my family because of you. Thank you.

@MattMaeson
becomes the first solo man to score two career No. 1s on Billboard's
#AlternativeAirplay
chart in a decade and a half, thanks to "Hallucinogenics."
Finished all the tracking for the album today. Plenty of editing, mixing, mastering, yada yada to be done. But after two years of writing and tracking it’s a big exhale.
Finally, after a year i have secured physical proof of my success. Thank you for listening and for giving me the ability to absolutely flex on all my haters especially my 4th grade teacher Ms Dalton and a guy named Tony in my YouTube comments
Hallucinogenics by
@MattMaeson
featuring
@LanaDelRey
has just surpassed 10M streams on Spotify ! becoming the 2nd song released in 2020 by Lana to reach this milestone.
this is the part of my career where people stop me in public and say hey, you’re Matt Maeson and I say yeah and then we stand there in silence until I say do you want a picture and they say no that’s okay
if you’re at my acoustic show and you’re shouting random shit during my song, I’m going to single you out and tell you to shut the fuck up. I’ve had to do it before and had to tonight and it makes me feel like a chaperone. You’re ruining it for me and everyone else.
Genuinely can’t thank you all enough for the life I have. It’s easy to get caught up and forget that 5 years ago I was playing gigs for crowds of 7 people and sleeping in my car wondering who I could bum money from next for dinner. Whatever it is, just hold on a little longer.
it takes a lot of time to make an album that I’m proud of. I don’t want to make things the easy way and that is simply a longer process. It hasn’t even been a year since I put out an album. Quality over quantity my friend. Go eat some food or something
About 3 years ago, shortly after I moved to LA I went to a show at The Fonda and It was Bishop Briggs. Ironically about 2 years after that I opened up for her sold out show at The Fonda. Tonight, I play my own sold out show at The Fonda. Thanks for making that happen.
dude my net worth went UP to 2 million dollars so sick! Seriously though someone needs to tell me where I can find it lol I want my fucking 2 million ok
hallucinogenics is streaming more than it ever has and is

on billboard alternative and that👏🏻is👏🏻tight👏🏻af👏🏻 thanks to all the fans who’ve been listening from the jump. And for all you new fans out there, sup.
Bank On The Funeral is one years old today! Time flies, man. We’ve toured it 4 times and you’ve streamed it over a hundred million times. It brings me so much joy to hear what this album means to some of you. It means a hell of a lot to me too. Cheers 🍻
I don’t have an album in the works right now so I’m just gonna start dropping singles cause I’m tired of not releasing shit 🤷🏼♂️ first one’s gonna drop next month
You can call me Kevin
You can call me Sam
You can call me Rico
You can call me Pam
You can call me late night
And I’ll be there real quick
You can call me anything, oh anything you want
Just don’t call me Rick
A fan gave this to me at a gig at some point in 2019 I think. It took me months to figure out what it meant. Eventually I realized it was a play on “I’ve got one more cigarette and all my money is spent” and it’s my favorite fan gift I’ve received. Big thanks to whoever made this
pretty sure a group of 4 teenagers in the front row at my show tonight left 6 songs in because they thought they were seeing
@mattmaeson
. they were on their phones furiously googling who i actually was before leaving.
full disclosure: sometimes i wish i was matt maeson too.
Due to multiple delays I will be cancelling my music career and applying for a job with American Airlines. My plan is to work there long enough for them to trust me and then little by little tear there company apart from the inside. I’m sorry this is just something I have to do.
my New Years resolution is from now on when I offer to pay for someone’s meal and they say “are you sure?” I say “No” and then I do not pay for their meal.
Story time. 6 years ago I lived in a trailer with a guy named Cliffy. I wasn’t on the lease and the landlord found out I was staying there, showed up with three cops and they forced me to pack whatever I could in my backpack and said I couldn’t come back on the property....
I’ve had a lot of jobs in my life. Traveling with my friends and playing my songs for you is by far the best one. Thank you for making this my life. It’s very hard at times, it’s stressful, it’s exhausting but it’s the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done. So thanks my dudes!
walked into what I didn’t know was a 4 star restaurant in sweatpants and a dirty hoodie and decided to stay cause the looks I’m getting make me feel powerful
In a world where singles rule, it is so dope to see how many of you are streaming the new album from start to finish. That is such an encouraging thing to see. Thank you all for listening 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
