In a voice memo, Matthew McConaughey announces the project, a film “about a group of best friends taking a two-week motorcycle ride across America”
Zach Bryan has teased an upcoming film that documents the recording of his “final major label album.”
On Instagram on Wednesday, Bryan dropped a voice memo — seemingly dictated by Matthew McConaughey, Bryan’s costar in the “Nine Ball” video — announcing Motorbreath, which shares its title with a still-unreleased song that the country star first shared on social media back in November.
“This is not a film about a band, this is a film about a boy from Oklahoma,” McConaughey (or a very convincing AI of the actor) says in the clip. “A boy who joined the Navy, with a love of writing. That writing connected with people, a lot of people. This film is about a group of best friends taking a two-week motorcycle ride across America, while recording one final major label album.”
Bryan did not share any other Motorbreath-related details, including a potential release date. However, hours before the McConaughey voice memo, Bryan posted another mysterious snippet of a new song possibly titled “Birdie,” a track that also name-checks Elliott Smith’s “Behind the Bars.”
Now just six months removed from The Great American Bar Scene, the prolific Bryan went quickly back to work on new music, releasing a new single titled “This World’s a Giant” back in November. When that track arrived, Bryan also said “Motorbreath” the song would be released the following day; however, it now appears he’s been holding onto “Motorbreath” for cinematic reasons.
