Our Take

Ah, IAIN MATTHEWS, a true legend in the folk rock scene. His latest offering, "The Art Of Obscurity", is a delightful blend of introspective lyrics and soulful melodies that will have you itching to pick up a guitar and strum along.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where every chord change feels like a revelation and every lyric is a poetic gem. Matthews' voice, weathered by years of experience, cuts straight to the heart, delivering raw emotion with every note.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The arrangements are lush and full, creating a warm sonic landscape that feels like a comforting embrace.

Standout tracks include the haunting ballad "Invisible", the rollicking "Wild Places", and the introspective "Dust of History". Each song offers a new perspective, a new story to dissect and explore.

Overall, "The Art Of Obscurity" is a triumph for IAIN MATTHEWS. It's a reminder of his talent and a testament to his enduring legacy in the music industry. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the sounds of this album wash over you. You won't regret it.
