Music was playing — unfamiliar, fully formed, the kind of sound you assume belongs to someone else’s life. For a moment I thought I was still asleep, hearing music I wished I’d made. Then it hit me: Ruban Nielson was already awake, in the studio, listening to what we’d made. We both knew it. There was something inevitable about the music — like it hadn’t been created so much as uncovered. We listened on repeat, laughing, shaking our heads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne track brought up a shared image: an evergreen forest by a lake at sunset. Ruban suddenly looked up, eyes wide, like he’d just been handed a message. “I’ve got the title,” he said. American Eagle. The name landed the same way the music had — clean, obvious, impossible to argue with. The American Dream: hot dogs, Cokes sunset drives. We both lost it, tears in our eyes from laughing hard for minutes straight. We swam in his pool. The conversation never stopped. The flow stayed constant, nourishing, effortless. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Ruban said it again — the line that had already become a principle: “Let’s make more that sound exactly like this.” So we did. Two days later, '\u003cem\u003eFEAR\u003c\/em\u003e' was finished. - Jared Mattson\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jagjaguwar","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51290569867542,"sku":"RMX-67274","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/ab59ed88ec1d1e46b073a393f99730da.png?v=1778072679","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/mattson-jared-ruban-nielson-fear","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
