And just how necessary the promise of hope abides. Independent musician, Matt Thien accomplishes just that in his own craft, offering hope to all generations, even if only a little. In this tour de’ force compilation, Desert Dry, his freshmen EP (in conjunction with Grammy Award-winning producer, Mitch Dane, and Jars of Clay guitarist, Steve Mason), Matt Thien exposes the conflict and juxtaposition that is embedded deep in the hearts of many MySpace-saturated, text-message-laden, Barack-Obama-campaigning young professionals. Desert Dry is indeed an eclectic blend of upbeat ballads and folksy pop beats that reflects nuances both timely and refreshing: uncertainty and love, exhibitionism and vulnerability, joy and anxiety. "Matt Thien has a wonderful ability to capture one's attention with his unique voice, then they're drawn in by the rich lyric and melody. This combination sets Matt apart from the multitudes of singer songwriters out there." - Mitch Dane, Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer When the new self resurrects from the ashes of the wilderness, there emerges a glimpse of hope. The act of love-making and child-rearing in spite of war, economic fragility, and wayward politics in the world is a testament to the human search for progress and the insistence of hope. In Matt’s final track, “Find My Way,” the listener moves from lost to found. Tears are spent, the journey is gray, and love is lost, but “somewhere in the distance” humanity sees the light, catches a glimpse of hope, and pushes onward to tomorrow. The mirror of Thien's music shows us a glimpse of who humanity is at their worst and best. It also encourages humanity to grasp for tomorrow. It is that tomorrow—so long as we love and receive love—which holds the promise for renewal and revival. The desert is ever-present, but the heart of hope endures through conflict and change, uncertainty and celebration. Whether it’s wrestling with being ‘desert dry’ or head over heals in ‘beautiful’ love, Matt Thien’s passion for people to know purpose and meaning in life is second to nothing. Being convinced that the lackluster attitudes portrayed by Christians today contribute to the mediocre feeling of the world about Christ, Matt is determined to change that world one song at a time.
