watch Matthew Logan Vasquez's video for "Personal"

Delta Spirit frontman Matthew Logan Vasquez is focusing on his solo project this year. He recently released his debut solo LP Solicitor Returns (order yours), and we’ve now got the premiere of the video for “Personal” off that album. Matthew says:

The song ‘Personal,’ I wrote when I was 19 years old. It’s a song about moving on and loving those you leave behind. I didn’t want the music video to be too sentimental. My mom Debbie and her wild friend Cherie from Michigan volunteered themselves to be my lip-synch backing band. The director Nikolai Vanyo and I created the film collage that’s running in the background. A lot of the footage is from my childhood and my travels.

Like other stuff on this record, it’s a swaggering rocker. Check it out below.

Matthew played NYC the day the album came out, and he’ll continue to tour, including a number of shows at SXSW. He returns to NYC on April 29 at Mercury Lounge, and that show also includes Reverend Baron and Dustin Lovelis. Tickets for Merc are still available.
