Matthew & The Atlas: British Music Abroad

For:

CMJ 2012

Event date:

16-20 October 2012

The five-piece are scorched with a sound that combines a woozy, day-dreaming California with a muscular updating of English pastoral folk; the cultured, straw-scratched vocal of Matthew Hegarty backed by tender vocal harmonies and rolling banjo lines.

The band are building a committed live following in London – selling out the Lexington with their first ever headline show earlier this year. They have recently finished a UK tour with Mumford & Sons and released their second EP ‘Kingdom Of Your Own’ in November, selling out The Borderline for the launch.
