Our Take

Eric Matthews' "It's Heavy In Here" is a delightful blend of whimsical charm and musical prowess. Drawing on influences from baroque pop to indie rock, Matthews creates a sound that is truly his own.

The opening track, "Fanfare", sets the tone for the album with its triumphant horns and infectious melody. Matthews' angelic vocals float effortlessly over the intricate instrumentation, creating a sense of euphoria that is impossible to resist.

Throughout the album, Matthews showcases his songwriting skills with heartfelt lyrics and catchy hooks. Tracks like "Faith to Clay" and "Fried Out Broken Girl" showcase his ability to craft memorable melodies that stick with you long after the music has stopped.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "It's Heavy In Here". Matthews delves into darker territory on tracks like "Lust Takes Time" and "Droned", exploring themes of love, loss, and existential dread with a depth and nuance that is truly impressive.

Overall, Eric Matthews' "It's Heavy In Here" is a masterclass in indie pop songwriting. With its lush arrangements, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious melodies, this album is sure to please fans of all genres. So go ahead, give it a spin and let yourself get lost in the magical world of Eric Matthews.

About the artist

Eric Matthews

Eric Matthews may not be a household name, but in the world of indie pop, he's a bonafide legend. With his dreamy vocals and lush orchestral arrangements, Matthews has been charming listeners since the early '90s. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Matthews burst onto the scene as part of the band Cardinal before embarking on a solo career that has seen him release over a dozen albums. His music has been described as "baroque pop" and "chamber pop," but really, it's just good old-fashioned indie magic. With influences ranging from Brian Wilson to Burt Bacharach, Matthews has a knack for crafting melodies that will linger in your head long after the music has stopped. His songwriting is both sophisticated and accessible, with lyrics that are both heartbreakingly honest and wryly humorous. Despite his critical acclaim and strong cult following, Matthews remains something of an enigma in the music world. He rarely gives interviews, and his live performances are few and far between. But for those lucky enough to catch him in action, it's an experience not to be missed. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, Eric Matthews is an artist worth getting to know. So sit back, relax, and let his timeless tunes wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
