He released his second LP, &#8216;Sweet Hand Of Fate&#8217;, in 2014, which features a guest appearance on the track, &#8216;Garbage Man&#8217;, by former Queens Of The Stone Age member, Mark Lanegan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">Mark is back lending his distinctive baritone to Matt&#8217;s latest album, &#8216;Grand Delusion&#8217;,\u00a0which also features fellow QOTSA alumnus, Alain Johannes, as well as Jack Irons (Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers). Recorded at 11AD Studio in Los Angeles, the final result is an organic, multi-faceted album, which even Matt might have been surprised at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Catch Matt Boroff online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattboroff\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mattboroff\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mattboroff.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.
