about

On their sixth full-length studio album, Joe’s Meat and Grocery, Massy Ferguson doubles down on their rock & roll roots, mixing bar-band twang with a raw, guitar-driven bang. Gluing those sounds together is the songwriting partnership of bass-playing frontman Ethan Anderson and guitarist Adam Monda. Their songs spin stories of small-town adolescence, big-city adulthood, and the long miles of highway that stretch in between.

Joe’s Meat and Grocery, named after the family store Monda’s grandpa ran in early-1900s Wenatchee, WA, continues that tradition of northwest blue-collar and does so in montage-form, zooming into various scenes from the lives of co-writers Anderson and Monda in four-minute increments. The details are rich, the context implied, and the writing is stunningly simple, like the literal minimalism of Anderson’s favorite authors: Cormac McCarthy, Raymond Carver, Dennis Johnson, and Willie Vlautin. Songs like “Miles Away” and “Save What Couldn’t Be Saved” give dual blasts of heartland-worthy hooks and the kind of minimalistic honesty that the album title suggests.
