Our Take

Matt Dorrien's "Blue Pastoral" is like a refreshing cup of English Breakfast tea on a drizzly afternoon. The Portland-based singer-songwriter delivers a delightful blend of folk, pop, and a sprinkle of jazz that will have you tapping your toes and pondering life's mysteries in equal measure.

The album opens with the whimsical "Baby I'm So Lost," a catchy tune that sets the tone for the record's introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation. Dorrien's velvety vocals add a touch of sophistication to tracks like "Wilderness" and "All I Wanted Was a Love Song," showcasing his range as both a singer and a storyteller.

But don't let the album title fool you – "Blue Pastoral" is far from melancholy. Tracks like "Days of Heaven" and "A Day in the City" bring a warmth and lightness to the record, with breezy melodies and playful arrangements that will leave you smiling and humming along.

Overall, "Blue Pastoral" is a charming and enchanting listen that will transport you to a dreamy world of love, loss, and all the messy bits in between. Dorrien's songwriting shines through on this album, proving once again that he is a true talent to watch in the folk-pop scene. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and enjoy the musical journey that is "Blue Pastoral." Cheers!
