Chicago-based guitarist and songwriter ​Matt Gold​ is set to release his debut solo album, Imagined Sky​, on 29 May on Whirlwind Recordings.

The in-demand instrumentalist and collaborator, Gold is best known for his work recording and touring worldwide with genre-defying artists including Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, Sara Serpa, and Jamila Woods.

With a penchant for precise melody and finely-tuned song structures, Gold’s music takes root in the spaces between instrumental improvisation, abstracted Americana, and whispering electronic textures; ​Imagined Sky​ finds a home through connecting Gold’s musical dialects into a cohesive whole.
