"Hospital Music" marks the third official solo release by Matthew Good. It also marks Matthew Good's last album on contract with Universal Music.

While the album was in its initial stages Matthew Good posted a series of drawings and prose on his blog. Some of the pieces were later used as titles and perhaps more. It is also believed that Matthew wrote a large portion, or all, of the album during his stay at the hospital in 2006.

The album was streamed on the official website until it was released in stores across Canada on July 31st, 2007. It debuted at #1 in Canada, Amazon Canada, and iTunes Canada.

An iTunes release coincided with the release of the album in the US while there are also plans to do the same in the UK in August. The album is available for $7.99 on iTunes.

The album was released in CD form on August 6th, 2007 in the US and August 7th in the UK. More updates to come!

The album appears to be in a jewel case rather than the digi-pak packaging used for In a Coma and White Light Rock & Roll Review. It consists of one CD, lyrics booklet, and a paper insert about ringtones. The CD and booklet are both sky blue while the words "Gone away boys. We're gone away," which are lyrics from The Boy Come Home, appear on the back of the lyrics booklet. "Matthew Good. Hospital Music" appear on the CD itself. More information will be available in the coming days.
