Matthew P.

After Unlabeled's last review of heavy metal band Hostile Rising, we felt like it was time to relax, well imagine how happy we were when we stumbled upon Matthew P.

We found Matthew P. from the last weeks channel 4 advert for the film Watchmen, which featured a great track from Matthew's latest album called End Of The World.



The action and destruction of the film makes a perfect juxtaposition to Matthews chilled out tunes. If you are wondering what that sounds like without all the sounds of explosions and anti-vigilante metaphors, it's a little like this...





End of the World is that peculiar type of song that falls between melancholy and sweet, it’s a brilliantly composed track that is both harrowing and beautiful, that builds to a climax guaranteed to send chills down your spine and make your heart ache.


Matthew P. - on a go-kart

Matthew is an embodiment of the laid back vibes of chilled out folk-pop, recording his latest album in a make-shift beach hut studio in his hometown of Suffolk, where he claims he is free of distractions.


He claims that his music holds a 'chilled out vibe' and is meant to 'bring people to a more positive place'. And with tracks like Things Might Get Better, you can really see what he means...





Matthew's Beach Hut

Matthew has been writing songs since he was 11 years old, and since then his music has taken on the rustic sounds of rural England.  Folksy blues reminiscent of the English coast is probably why he went down so well on the festival circuit, wowing crowds at festivals like Kendal Calling, Latitude, Y-Not and V Festival.

'Downtown' is the perfect rustic-sounding song and is matched by his video showcasing the beautiful country side of Cornwall.
