Madison

Hands Down Eugene is led by Kansas' latest export, Matt Moody. Hands Down Eugene's debut, Madison, on XOXO Records was put together and recorded by Moody and producer Jeremy Ferguson at Battle Tapes Studio. The album features contributions by members of Ben Folds and My Morning Jacket.

The Nashville Scene said it best when they announced "Hands Down Eugene is a mix of the psychodelia of "The White Album" with the melodic charm of "Built to Spill". They are a study in mellow pleasure and celebratory sing-along replete with loping low-end, jangling chords and the interlocking guitar riffs of Andy Willhite conveying the sense of a communal happening-joyous, pliable and welcoming."
