Album Information

"Lights of Endangered Species" is the title of Matthew Good's final album with Universal. The release date was May 31st, 2011. The album title "Cold Harbor" was originally embedded in several of the MP3s encoded by Matthew himself.

Towards the end of February 2010 and early March 2010, Matthew began preparations for a new section of his website. The planned paid membership (M+) would provide access to audioblogs, proposed soundcheck parties, videos, and possibly demos.

This album will be Good's fourteenth release with Universal Music and second release after re-signing with them.

Although not initially planned, a limited edition vinyl of the album will be made available at release.

Order: Lights Of Endangered Species (LP) on Amazon Canada or through Amazon USA.
