Our Take

Eric Matthews' debut album "It's Heavy In Here" is like a breath of fresh air in a room full of musty old records. With its lush orchestral arrangements and dreamy vocals, this album is a whimsical journey through the mind of a true musical genius.

From the moment the opening track "Fanfare" kicks in, you know you're in for something special. The soaring strings and intricate melodies transport you to a world where anything is possible. Matthews' voice floats effortlessly over the music, weaving tales of love and longing that tug at your heartstrings.

Tracks like "Three-Cornered Moon" and "Cardinal Is More" showcase Matthews' songwriting prowess, with their clever lyrics and infectious hooks. The arrangements are rich and layered, with each instrument adding a new dimension to the music.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "It's Heavy In Here." Songs like "Soul Nation Select Them" and "Survive" delve into darker territories, exploring themes of loss and despair. Matthews' emotive vocals bring a rawness to these tracks, drawing you in and refusing to let go.

Overall, "It's Heavy In Here" is a triumph of an album that showcases Eric Matthews' talent and vision. It's a record that demands to be listened to from start to finish, with each track building on the next to create a truly immersive listening experience. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be transported to a world where beauty and melancholy collide in the most enchanting way.

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.
