Zapetroid

Zapetroid is Matt Breslau's fourth and currently only active musical project. Zapetroid consists solely of Breslau and marks a general departure from the more perverse and vulgar subject matter of Matt & Figgy, focusing instead on clever humor and absurdist comedy, but occasionally venturing into instrumentals and songs with more meaningful and serious topics.

History
After the first dissolution of Matt & Figgy in September 2007, Breslau wanted to continue to create music despite having no help to do so. Inspired heavily by solo musician Neil Cicierega, Breslau took on the task of creating a musical project manned only by himself. The name Zapetroid was created in 2007 as a username for the Lemon Demon forum, an Internet discussion board centering on Cicierega's current musical project, Lemon Demon; it is a spoonerism of Cicierega's first musical project, Trapezoid. When deciding what to name this new musical project, Breslau chose Zapetroid because, "it was the only alias [he] had ever really been known by."

Since beginning in 2007, Zapetroid has released seven studio albums. An eighth, titled Songs About Nothing, is currently in production. Though delayed three times, it is finally scheduled for an early 2021 release.

Studio albums

 * Pointless (October 2007), the first studio album under the moniker. Among friends, the album was met with positivity, but garnered criticism from others for being "infantile and lacking."
 * Repetition (December 2007), which is notable for containing numerous collaborative songs with friends of Breslau's. Despite Pointless having been made fully publicly available, Repetition was only made available for a short time after its initial release due to complications among collaborators. After the creation of the Official Zapetroid Website in 2015, it was finally listed publicly again and its tracks were made fully available.
 * The Mystery Machine (February 2008), which references the Mystery Machine from the Scooby-Doo franchise, was recognized as showing significant improvement over Pointless. This is Zapetroid's first and currently only album to contain a hidden track.
 * His Indifferent Paradoxes Request (September 2008), which parodies the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request in name, artwork, and contents. This was Breslau's first and currently only attempt at a concept album, here trying the theme of psychedelic rock. This album is notable for having been the first to be promoted in a Zap TV promotional video.
 * Moron's Requiem (April 2009), a return to the traditional comedic roots of Zapetroid present in The Mystery Machine.
 * Triple Vision (May 2011), the first Zapetroid studio album to contain a commentary file, and notable for containing "Phil the Tree," the most-performed song at live Zapetroid shows.
 * Zapetroid (April 2013), the project's first and currently only double-disc album. It currently has the longest total runtime of any Zapetroid studio album.
