100% authenticity is the key to a great album.  This week’s guest on Discover New Music is Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire.  Their 8th studio album “Shapeshifter” takes a look at our true selves behind the masks we wear with heavy, raw emotion.  Plus, Matty teases a surprise on this record that no one will see coming!  As always a quick round of Rapid Fire is played…whale penises and cute duck-sized horse included.

Matty Mullins (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar),
Cory Elder (bass), and Jake Garland (drums) — spent much of 2024
dropping brand new singles, each of which was more incendiary than the
next. Today, they are thrilled to announce their upcoming album
SHAPESHIFTER, which arrives March 28 via longtime label Rise Records.

The band has also shared the video for the title track. Watch it here.
The track and the album take a long, hard look at what lies beneath.
“‘Shapeshifter’ reflects the struggle of wrestling with identities and the need to
confront the masks we wear,” says Mullins. “This track, and the entire album, is
about exposing those parts of ourselves we often keep hidden. It’s a journey
through the layers of deception, self-reflection, and the struggle to find
what’s genuine in a world full of pretense. We wanted ‘Shapeshifter’ to embody
that feeling of losing and finding yourself, over and over, until you finally see
what’s real.”
