Given the changes at home, Matt primarily wrote at night, working often between 11 pm and 2 am. He listened to everything from Mk.gee, Big Thief, and Adrianne Lenker to the scores of Final Fantasy VII jeung Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. To bring the music to life, he collaborated closely with producer and friend Owen Lewis, leveraging the talents of Nashville session musicians to complete the vision. This time around, the bulk of the material was developed on piano, including the first single “Everlasting,” which wrestles with the idea of leaving it all behind, before dusting yourself off and finding comfort in the mantra-like chant, “Grit your teeth and make us proud. Fake it when you don’t know how.”

Dina “Downstairs” palm-muted gitar listrik slides kana undertow tina distortion-boosted refrain, “I just wanna drift away downstairs.“Cursive,”Cursive," Maeson duet jeung Andy Hull ti Manchester Orchestra ngabalukarkeun dina ayat introspektif. "Andy and I have become super close,” Maeson says. “He’s been through it all, and he has two kids who are a little older. It’s the only song to address my place with religion and faith. As a kid, you rely on what you’re indoctrinated with. When you get to 32 and all of it falls apart, you have to figure out what you believe.”

Ultimately, A Quiet and Harmless Living mangrupakeun sound of growing and finding balance. "Pikeun ka ahir, kuring ngan hiji bapa jeung suami alus anu nyieun jeung maénkeun musik kadang,” he smiles. “Ieu pisan senang jeung rekaman ieu. Kuring dijieun hiji hal nu ngobrol ka kuring, sarta kuring senang, lalaki.”‍
