MATT CHAMPION RELEASES DEBUT SOLO ALBUM MIKA’S LAUNDRY OUT NOW VIA RCA RECORDS
Today, Matt Champion releases his debut solo album Mika’s Laundry. The album includes previously released singles, “Aphid” featuring Dijon, “Slug,” and his recent collaboration with JENNIE, “Slow Motion,” which PAPER Magazine called a “surging, heart-on-sleeve track.” Alongside director Anna Pollack, Matt has unveiled a fully realized visual world around Mika’s Laundry that includes the newly-released video for “Dogfish,” which displays the many colors of his Arcadian utopia.
Mika’s Laundry represents a defining shift in Matt’s sound with his return to solo music, taking his time to mold new ideas over the course of several years and craft a singular body of work that many may not have expected. At the album’s core, Matt writes thoughtfully about the complexities of his relationships and asks the existential questions that come with growing up and discovering your place amongst your peers. Matt co-produced the album alongside Henry Kwapis, Dijon, and a handful of other close collaborators, warping his voice to complement the textures of the music.

Equally important to the music is the world Matt crafted within which the album exists. A remote, but technologically sound community of cement-walled facilities, open plains, and greenhouse-like domes, at the center of which lies the album’s namesake club, Mika’s Laundry. On album opener “Green,” Champion ushers in this eco-brutalist dreamscape with layered, manipulated vocals that mimic the sound of laser beams as he wanders through a mundane daydream. Piece by piece Champion builds his musical sanctuary and dives deeper into themes of existentialism, forming his own conclusions on desire and affection, most notably on album track “Steel” featuring Dora Jar. With Mika’s Laundry, Matt is reintroducing himself through a free and meticulously crafted personal statement of his experiences in life and love, scored by the sounds of a future he’s envisioned.
Listen to Mika’s Laundry and check out the “Dogfish” video and stay tuned for more from the artist.

#my bf’s dad has a bunch of casettes for like abba dom mclennon and a bunch of other artists#and I think they’re so cute and good sized#like the cassette is such a great size I love it perfect#and I wanted to make the switch from my iPod shuffle to a cassette player#it would be like a technological devolution technically#but I wouldn’t be able to download music on it as easily as I can the shuffle#it took me a while to figure out how to download stuff on my shuffle to begin with#it’s too complicated and messy and like inefficient#inefficient **#but dam I love cassettes !

people’s arguments about why john has to be a bottom and not paul tend to regurgitate the same critique these people have about paul (“you say he’s a bottom just because he’s feminine!”) by bringing up john’s appearance and more femme attitude after ‘68 and then saying how paul is more masc because of his body / facial hair. i also feel like a lot of people still conflate dom/sub with top/bottom when it comes to mclennon. though i haven’t thought about the societal perception of receiving / giving, i had an ohhh moment when i read that in your post. i personally will always be a fan of service top john paired with a power bottom paul, but john being servicy to me doesn’t mean he’s “submissive” in the typical way. i think he can be dominant and aggressive with paul but that’s because paul allows him to be. like what you said about paul enjoying being john’s second and being put in his place by more domineering and strong men. there’s a lot of power play that goes on in their sexual relationship and it deeply fascinates me!
people’s arguments about why john has to be a bottom and not paul tend to regurgitate the same critique these people have about paul (“you say he’s a bottom just because he’s feminine!”) by bringing up john’s appearance and more femme attitude after ‘68 and then saying how paul is more masc because of his body / facial hair.
Yes, it gets very transparent for exactly those reasons. What makes me roll my eyes about the “you say he’s a bottom just because he’s feminine!” thing is that anyone who bitches about this can only imagine switching the roles and having Paul by a hypermasculine stoic (which breaks characterization) and having John be a hyperfeminine bottom (which is also OOC). I don't think that the original complaints are necessarily a bad thing, there is an iteration problem in McLennon fandom where Paul can sometimes be reduced to a weepy princess, though I haven't heard of any fics coming out in the past 5 years that actually made this mistake. But it does annoy me that fandom can only imagine flipping the script and having John be the weepy bottom princess. It never leads to something more creative or interesting being produced where John and Paul's roles, both self assigned and imposed on them, are discussed especially for the effect it had their relationship.
It would be interesting to explore John's femme qualities but I think that fans are hesitant about going there because they would have to admit that John's passivity in 1968 was induced by his heroin addiction which destroyed his life and his relationships. There's never any appreciating John's femininity when he wasn't on heroin even though 1965 is arguably when John was at the most soft spoken and open minded. I find it a little sad that John's feminine qualities are only appreciated when he was at the peak of his hatefulness and addiction.
i also feel like a lot of people still conflate dom/sub with top/bottom when it comes to mclennon.
A lot of that is wish fulfillment IMO. Especially since Paul fans are usually the ones driving it and it's pretty universal that we want to see him get railed, not really the other way around. We like him because he's so poundable. So it's nice that he has a built in boyfriend who's willing to fuck him until he cries, you know. And it's easy to classify that as top/bottom::dom/sub.
McLennon is very subtle in some ways because of the give and take between John and Paul was so weird and it's just really difficult for us as outsiders to grasp. John and Paul themselves are baffled and confused by it. It makes me wonder if part of their dissolution was the fact that they didn't understand how much power they held over the other one which meant that they couldn't understand why their decisions were having such profound effects on the other person. They seem profoundly frustrated and bewildered by the undercurrents of their relationship where they perfectly fulfill each other in all ways except one, and how deeply unsatisfying their other relationships have been in comparison.
I think @amoralto damaged the fandom for this in some ways because she ended up having a popular blog which meant that her interpretations of John in particular were xeroxed over and over. The problem with this being that I don't think amoralto fully appreciated the power dynamic between John and Paul and her bias against John crept into her opinions which means that they screwed up the fandom discourse. If you go purely by her public posts then amoralto appears to be under the impression that John was a hysteric that was perpetually shitting himself about Paul one upping him. There is some truth to that but it's also not the whole story because Paul's ability to pull the rug out from under John was always a source of pride, fascination, love, and eroticism for John. Yesterday rocked John's world but he was also proud of Paul for being such an incredible artist and he was always pleased about being the one who discovered Paul. He was always aware that Paul had a lot of power over him and John both reveled and despaired in that.
This relates to the top/bottom::dom/sub thing because this dynamic would naturally play out in an erotic relationship between John and Paul. There's the surface layer where John is railing Paul but then there's the additional layer where Paul is the one enticing John to do it by showing his ass off (like really, who do you think those tight cut trousers are for?) and inviting John to put his cock inside Paul. And then there's the part where John's butch attitude and even some of his violence was egged on and encouraged by Paul who was most likely turned on by John punching people out. Paul was not the slightest bit put off by John being a violent person or else he would have bailed within a year of knowing him. When Julia died, Paul is the only one who had patience with John who was getting drunk and getting into fights…meanwhile there's a femmeboi in the background making soothing noises and cleaning him up so that he's fit for company. Really makes the your mind run wild with possibilities huh? Who is to say Paul didn't say "c'mon Johnny, just put it in me mouth and I'll fix you up." Or something!
The point is Paul is ultimately in control of the situation. This is supposed to be what dom/sub set ups are supposed to be anyway, subs are the ones who dictate the conditions in the bedroom. But considering how John built Paul up in his mind, it seems clear that Paul had a lot of overt power over John too. They don't fit neatly into the dom/sub set up either.
They switched power positions constantly and they got a lot of pleasure out of dominating but also being dominated. Paul liked being on top and being on bottom and John liked it when he got to be on top of Paul and when Paul crushed him. The pleasure was in the struggle itself, not necessarily the positions in of themselves.
though i haven’t thought about the societal perception of receiving / giving, i had an ohhh moment when i read that in your post.
It's not nearly as prevelent now though it still lingers. But heteronormativity really dictated the nature of a lot of relationships in the past.
i personally will always be a fan of service top john paired with a power bottom paul, but john being servicy to me doesn’t mean he’s “submissive” in the typical way. i think he can be dominant and aggressive with paul but that’s because paul allows him to be.
IMO there's a lot of truth to this! @zilabee has a really nice post about how John and Paul could afford to be gentle with one another and wrote love songs together. I think that a service top john/power bottom paul really fits this dynamic because it allowed John and Paul to express themselves to each other which solidified their mutual trust and their bond.
In a lot of ways Paul was an ideal partner for John in that he was someone John could have sex with that didn't have consequences (such as pregnancy) while Paul also had the feminine beauty that John really loved. (There's a quote from Yoko I think that John claimed if he fell in love with another man then that man would have to be extremely beautiful. Handsome is not enough.) John could probably be a lot rougher with Paul who could stand up to being tossed around a bit if needed but was beautiful enough for John to fuck tenderly too. Paul wasn't afraid of John's rough side and even encouraged it and decided to love it. In some ways John being a service top lets him express that roughness sexually with someone who won't break in half from being treated like a sack of potatoes. And there wouldn't be judgment from Paul either because he is still a man and experienced the same puberty and testosterone that John did including the same struggles with temper, the bodily changes, etc. He knows where John is coming from whereas a 1960s woman would not. (The transwomen, crossdressers, and homosexuals in Hamburg may have been John's first explicit taste of this. People who were familiar with what growing up as a male would be like so they didn't judge John for his proclivities and interests.)
In other words, John could express himself sexually with Paul in a way that he probably couldn't with women. Paul was fine with it judging from that photo of John's nutsack against his back and it fulfilled his needs as well!
like what you said about paul enjoying being john’s second and being put in his place by more domineering and strong men. there’s a lot of power play that goes on in their sexual relationship and it deeply fascinates me!
Yes! John overwhelms and dominates Paul but it's because Paul wants it to happen. He relied on John's intuition and discernment and ultimately his trust in John to carry it through. John has a partner who can't get pregnant when he climaxes inside him and then can take it on the chin when John is rough and/or degrading. All while he's sharply aware of how much Paul likes it which itself feeds into John's eros, and so on and on…

MATT CHAMPION ANNOUNCES DEBUT SOLO ALBUM 'MIKA’S LAUNDRY' DUE MARCH 22ND VIA RCA RECORDS
Matt Champion announces his forthcoming debut solo album Mika’s Laundry, and shares his latest single “Slow Motion” in collaboration with JENNIE. The album will be released March 22nd via RCA Records and includes previously released singles “Aphid” featuring Dijon and “Slug,” both of which were accompanied by Anna Pollack-directed music videos.
Mika’s Laundry crystallizes a radical shift for Matt in his return to his solo music, experimenting with new ideas over the course of several years to mold a singular sound. Speaking to this new approach, “Slow Motion” sees Champion wrestle with his peace of mind, complemented by production that nods to drum and bass influences. At the album’s core, Matt writes thoughtfully about the complexities of his relationships and asks the existential questions that come with growing up and discovering your place amongst your peers. Matt co-produced the album alongside Henry Kwapis, Dijon, and a handful of other close collaborators, warping his voice to complement the textures of the music.
Equally important to the music is the dystopian world Matt crafted for the album to exist within. A remote, but technologically sound community of cement-walled facilities, open plains, and greenhouse-like domes, at the center of which lies the album’s namesake club, Mika’s Laundry. Partnering with director Anna Pollack, Matt pieced the world together through a series of visuals that illustrate Matt’s idyllic future.
Pre-save/order Mika’s Laundry and listen to “Slow Motion” above and stay tuned for more from the artist coming soon.
