Sundry Inspiration

It's clear that Matt's cd has an honest emotional quality that the patient listener will appreciate. At just under 80 minutes, UTCOA is a massive excercise in mood, and a successful one at that. Don't expect quick, radio friendly singles that work on a single level; these songs have depth that you can explore for days, by yourself or with a significant other. That this is the work of a single person is staggering. If you're looking for honest art in music, I highly recommend this cd.

Matt brought this lovely gem to my attention by route of myspace. Skeptical as usual I was dreading following up on it thinking it was just another band sales pitch. Well, I don't care if it was, because after I listened to each of the songs on Under the Cover of Autumn page, I immediately ordered this disc. Every track is beautiful & poetic! I have the biggest soft spot for The Postal Service so naturally I adore this albums songs: Dividends, This is the perfect time for perfect timing, & How to trust a liar. Oh ya & one more note... this album has that "x factor," like the emotions are woven right into the sounds. I don't know how else to describe... it just has this special-ness to it, you will be touched! Great job Matt!!

It's just plain great. I'm something of a writer myself, but not of songs, and just listening to previews on Matt's myspace was enough to get me into the mood to write. I had to get the cd right afterwards. I've been looking for something musical to inspire thoughts and get my words flowing, and this is definitely it. Awesome job, Matt :)
