MATTHEW & THE ATLAS

Founded by Matt Hegarty, Matthew and the Atlas was borne of the late 00’s folk rock movement (Mumford and Sons, Laura Marling, Ben Howard, Michael Kiwanuka) as he became a regular in the West London scene. It was after playing at the Communion Clubnight that the event-turned-Record label released his first official EP in 2010. Since then, he has released four albums, traversing a range of musical territories from classic acoustic folk, to dramatic synth-laden electronica, and urgent guitar led alt-rock. The common thread has been a song-writing style that marries a subtle melodic sensibility with lyrics full of natural imagery and dark emotional heft - all delivered in his striking and distinctive vocal. In the process Hegarty has quietly built a major cult following in Europe and the US. On his latest record, Matt travelled to the famous Rockfield Studios in Wales, recording 11 tracks live to tape over just a couple of days. Here he worked with Kevin Jones (Wunderhorse, Jay Anderson, Bear’s Den), and their aim was to capture a moment in time and a sense of place into the recording, with all the magic and intimacy just a lone voice and a guitar can bring.

FOREIGN FIELDS

After 15 years and 4 albums of consistent artistic evolution Foreign Fields are taking some time to slow down, breathe and review. With "Small Sessions Vol. 1" they re-approach some of their most loved songs with the clarity of age and hindsight. “Small Sessions Vol. 1” was recorded and produced in Eric’s living room in Viroqua, Wisconsin with only two acoustic guitars, a piano, a melodica and an OP-1. This is Foreign Fields presenting their songs in the most stripped down, intimate way that they can.
