Our Take

Matthew and the Atlas' latest album, "This Place We Live," is a charming blend of folk sensibilities and indie rock attitude. Opening track, "Pyres," sets the tone with its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, urging listeners to contemplate their place in the world.

Throughout the album, frontman Matthew Hegarty's distinctive vocals draw you in, echoing across the lush instrumentals like a lighthouse in a storm. Tracks like "Old Master" and "Everything Means Nothing" showcase the band's ability to craft poignant, emotional songs that stick with you long after the music fades.

But it's not all introspection and melancholy on "This Place We Live." The album also has its fair share of toe-tapping, foot-stomping moments, like the infectious energy of "Aerogramme" and the rollicking fun of "Sundowning."

Overall, Matthew and the Atlas have created a rich tapestry of sound on "This Place We Live," weaving together elements of folk, rock, and pop into a cohesive and compelling whole. It's an album that invites you to lose yourself in its world, to reflect on the beauty and complexity of life, and to dance like no one's watching. So go ahead, press play, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Matthew and the Atlas.
