Matthew Sweet revealed “She Walks the Night,” the debut single off his “ambitious” (Rolling Stone) new album Modern Art (September 27, Missing Piece Records) exclusively on RollingStone.com on Friday, August 12. Critic Matthew Perpetua notes that the song “sounds like a classic sunny Sweet power pop tune, but it’s actually a major departure for the veteran songwriter.”

This year also marks the twentieth anniversary of the release of Sweet’s seminal album Girlfriend, which he will commemorate with live performances of the album that will kick off in early fall. He will also perform material from throughout his career, including selections from Modern Art.
