On TILTAWHIRL, Matt Keating writes "the kind of effortless, eloquent pop song Elvis Costello doesn't write anymore" -- THE LONDON TIMES, July 1, 2001
"Keating has been around for more than a decade now, garnering steady acclaim for albums like 1994's Scaryarea and 1997's Killjoy, and TILTAWHIRL displays the benefit of that maturity in songs which call to mind the classic singer-songwriters from Dylan on down. Best of all is "Jacksonville", whose elegant resignation makes it something like the Florida equivalent of Leonard Cohen's, "Famous Blue Raincoat". -- THE INDEPENDENT (UK) June 15, 2001
"If you yearn for honest songs that make the passage from artist to audience without contrivance or modification, Matt Keating is a cult hero worth cultivating."

Somber and solemn introspection at a time when we need it-excellent writing.
author: David Nicholas
The eerie textures work well on this cd that match up with great songwriting - this helps pull most of the material away from traditional "folk singer songwriter acoustic stuff" that typically doesn't reach me. Keating has great songs that aren't dilluted by creative production touches. With some of the recording done at an Ivy-related location, there are potential pop directions that this cd hints at. I hope he explores them and broadens the range for future releases. This cd will find a home with anyone who appreciates great songwriting and smart production values.
