Matt Kivel – All Will Be Well totally gets hella pure.


I was watching Matt Kivel’s “All Will Be Well” music video [via Old English Spelling Bee]. It depicts the story of a grown bro chilling out with his ‘lost in the world’ old man dad. They sorta just vibe out in bodega-wave hangout spots.

You can see that they come from the same biological genetics, if you believe in science/the human genebrome projjie.

I mean, if we can’t ALL agree that this is auth, then NOTHING is auth. I ‘get’ why auth dance music might be ‘too relatable’ and ‘scalable’, and perhaps be retail-wave-vibes. However, the integration of pure vibes with a pure video is the point of auth. Opening up vibes of feelings and emotions. Sharing yourself in the purest way.

Thank you for sharing your art/life with the world, Matt Kivel. As an auth, I genuinely appreciate it (and music director bro John Carchietta whose name I saw in the ‘description’).

Seems like a pretty auth hang with his dad.

Matt Kivel shows his dad his ‘auth life’ where he rides public transportation, vibes out in a gentrified ass barrio, and makes sauteed spinach and eggs 4 breakfast.

Damn. You got a beer with dad? Feels pretty auth [via meaningful connection] and your dad opening up to you. I hope he didn’t hurt you as a child, or like ‘ruin your family’ or any negative vibes. It’s really up 2 u whether or not you forgive him. It’s super pure of you to show him your life.
hammered-with-dad

Damn, eating auth dogs at a baseball game. Sitting in the auth ass ‘cheap seats.’ Your dad is really loosening up. No longer minds ‘being filmed’ by some artsy ass bro with a VHS camcorder. Man.
connecting-with-dad

Great to see a meaningful connection with your patriarchal figure. Sometimes you just gotta share your life, embrace generational difference, and say, “Dad… this is what it’s all about. It might not be much, but it’s my life. It’s auth. You might not get it, but in a way, you might ‘get’ it because you were probably just trying to be auth during your times in a different way based on cultural/historical relativity. All we can do is react to the forces that shape us, so it doesn’t really matter how you shaped me. Let’s just sorta drew brewdawgs, ingest mad calories, and ‘connect’ over the fact that we have a peen between our legs that we are just trying to impregnate women with. We’re men. We’re bros. Thanks for stopping by Los Angeles to check out my auth life. Laters pops’

Feels like this is 100% certified auth.

Feels like Matt Kivel can really get some auth tail.

Is Matt Kivel auth?
Does this music pure out your vibes?
Is this way more ‘certifiably auth’ than auth dance music?
What is ur relaish with your dad like?
Remember the time Holy Ghost!’s dad’s played them as alt_NYC bros in the “Wait and See” video?

Have you ever had a ‘cold one’ with ur dad?
Did you ‘get 2 know him’?
Was it ‘revelatory’ or just ‘sorta sad’ 2 get inside their simple head but also realize ‘there is nothing 2 figure out in life’ and you sorta just pop out confused ass children then fade in and out of their lives?
Do you believe that if ‘humans were animals’, we would ‘clan’ with the family 4evr, or would you ‘migrate’ elsewhere and your mom would get tired of you once you started consuming too much food?
What is ‘the point’ of family?
Are you the product of divorce? Which parent’s side r u on?
Is ur stepdad ‘way more auth’ than your biological dad [via ‘just chilling in ur life’ without getting dark]?

Will Pitchfork help Matt Kivel to ‘scale’ [via product recommendation] waves?
Or did Matt Kivel ‘let down the Pitchforks’ by not having a scaled audience to ‘share’ his ‘positive review’ with?

Have a great day.

Do you feel better about your consumption of art after diving into this?

If this posts gets 5 comments about ur relationship with your father, I will post again.

  • Sierra

    seems genuinely auth. wish i had a relationship like this with my dad. he was never the same since he returned from the bosnian war and only got worse after being sent to kill some farc ppl in the middle of the amazon rainforest :( daddy got real violent [via PTSD] towards mom and i and eventually left us. he is somewhere in haiti now i think. i might follow his footsteps and drop everything and join ISIS or smth. idk what i’m talking abt. nice tunes tho. real auth, not goth.

    • Coolbro69@altavista.com

      I’m sorry that your dad had to fight in a war, bb. The bosnian war was like a really #unchill thing in #retro spect. Haiti seems #chill though. Diggin the #vibes of Haiti. Btw what is PTSD? Is that a #buzzband? Like NWA?

      • Sierra

        thank u, coolbro. u seem like a very cool bro. PTSD stands for pst-traumatic stress disorder.

  • Guest

    Yea it’s a heartwarming tune, feel like it’s ‘the way I want 2 remember him’

  • Youth Group Bro

    My father is a teetotaler and I hate big cities, so we’ll never get to chill over a beer at a relevant establishment in a recently gentrified neighborhood. I guess our relationship is doomed.

  • stewart

    My dad and I have an okay relationship even though we don’t spend a lot of time together (via divorces.) There’s an unspoken bro thing happening where we don’t have to express a lot verbally to know we both care deeply for each other. I wish him the best and I know he does the same for me. We are both teachers and the same in a lot of ways, even if we don’t share religious or artistic views. Familial connections are strong and super important in this world.

  • cool dad in training

    as a cool dad in training, i can say that i feel more and more confident in the father i’ll be, but less and less prepared to actually “make another human being.” because our generation is now saturated with ‘shitty, emotionally aware’ humans that might not ‘totally and irreparably damage’ their children, feel like the next set of baby auths and lil alts will be probably ‘better equipped’ to not ‘waste away in the suburbs.’ at least that is my goal. don’t really care what or how my kid is, cause it’ll be ‘fucking perfect’. maybe he’ll really feel life all around. maybe she’ll just want some adobe slabs. think we just have to hope that something pure can last, bbs.

  • Crlsbergbars

    Dear son,
    This is some of ur best writing in ages
    It reminds me of when we all go for ice cream
    Together thru the yrs
    Traveling together as a family
    The ice cream was always what really
    Kept us all together

  • Indiedrunningoff

    Dads are bros to the sons. Inherent auth related. Theres a certain age when the heads click tho. Is he auth? Was part of childhood a karmic payoff for him bringin ya into the exist. Takin over some of his unfinished dreams at ages and understanding when we a lil too young to rebel. But when its even steven on the favor for a favor scale…you r just kinda hangin. A solid bro but attach morphs into respect. Hockey game, yah why not? Cookout? Talk to ya like just another dude. Seems simpler. We steal pets from their parents all the time. They r super auth chill about it. Why peeps sooo overly emo. Why is the human experience so diff. Ponders?

  • ChrisBrownSwag

    my dad is kinda chill. he sees me listening to animal collective and accepts it. Only once in a while will he call out/challenge/confront my fav P4K/BNM music [ via old dad pink floyd nostalgia vibes]

    • macdemarco

      pink floyd is pretty auth tbh

  • DotP

  • dat_bro06

    Pops was/is one of the chillest bro’s I know. It’s 2 bad my mom bequeathed some type A genes 2 me [via DNA]. Now I am a harsh vibing, miserable, successful person, who just wants 2 be more like dad… PDF the comment section of this post for Father’s day to teach my old man about Auth, and maybe relate to him over something besides baseball.

    Thx Carles. #praying 4 u dawg.

    • Besty Guru

      It’s pretty chill that your mom’s genes have catapulted you into a world of success and possibly upper middle classdom. You might not realize it, but you might be the perfect blend of chill/unchill. Panda Bear/Avey Tare. Alvvays/Wavves.

    I remember when my pops took me to a Dodger game. He sat two aisles above me. After Mike Piazza struck out, I turned to ask him for a sip of Sprite. Instead of quenching my thirst, I saw right up his cargo shorts. His testicles hung down like fleshy wads of big league chew. It now occurs to me that fatherhood might not be about meaningful talks and car maintenance lessons. Maybe fatherhood is about letting your prepubescent son sneak a peak at your sweaty scrotum, your scrotum that sticks to your thigh like a syrupy plum. In simply dangling there you will teach him what it is to be a man.

  • HOMOSAPIEN_FUCK

    Some of the key tenants of “Auth” is not trying to “scale” to media blog sites.

    Lots of camcorder aesthetic, not trying to hard. Not retro. Not HD. Driving a 2008 Toyota Corolla seems “Auth”. Being ok with being a normal consumer. Not having to ironically consume as in the case of DIS mag. Not having to hate consumerism as in Adbusters.

    I would say “wow carles is really destroying the market with critical analysis”, but this is another cycle, and I think Carles is laying ground work for the right mentality to consume this culture… Tastes are shifting towards these aesthetics, and consumer aesthetics will reciprocate.

    I kind of wish Carles would just accept his calling as a “trendspotter” and move to New York, and effing kill it in tween and teen marketing tactics. He really has a gift for the next cool thing.

    Anyways guys get ready for buncha dudes being really chill with out acting trying to be chill.

    You see, this is what you get in my house when you spill paint in the garage. See, I don’t think that I need to sit here with you fuckin’ dildos anymore!

  • carles #1 fan

    i hate my dad it’s his fault i’m lazy and retarded

    not very chill

  • JacquiChan

    Auth sounds like goth

  • ADHS

    the relationship with my father is like two strangers, who will maybe never learn to getting to know each other better. he never had much time. i’ve been trying to invite him over to talk. but it is sometimes really alienating when he starts to talk about scientology and UFO’s and pharmacy-crime-psychiatry-spionage stuff. he is really into the other side of society and really forcing to commit into it.
    i miss him sometimes. i try to be in contact with him, as good as it can be.
    i am working on our relationship with him. he is really a busy i don’t care about you person. and i often feel deep pain. i will have to learn to communicate my needs to him, in hope that our relationship will grow better. but i am never sure will he accept?
