Matthew and the Atlas and support

Across Matt Hegarty’s first 3 LPs, and the 4 stripped back EPs that preceded and followed them, he has traversed a range of musical territories from classic acoustic folk, to dramatic synth-laden electronica, and urgent guitar led alt-rock. The common thread in his Matthew and the Atlas project has been a songwriting 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 the process Hegarty has quietly built a major cult following in Europe and and the US.
