Folds’ masterful new collection, What Matters Most, isn’t so much a statement as it is
an offering, an open hand reaching out to all those wounded and bewildered by a world that
seems to make less and less sense every day. Recorded in East Nashville with co-producer Joe
Pisapia, the album marks Folds’ first new studio release in eight years, and it’s a bold, timely,
cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with
hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity and perspective. The songs are bittersweet here,
hilarious at times, but often laced with a quiet sense of longing and dread: a text message goes
unanswered; an old classmate descends into the dark depths of internet conspiracies; a
relationship unravels in the middle of a lake. And yet, taken as a whole, the result is an
undeniably joyful record that refuses to succumb to the weight of the world around it, an ecstatic
reminder of all the beauty and promise hiding in plain sight for anyone willing (and present
enough) to recognize their moments as they arrive.
