Our Take

Ian Matthews' double album "Valley Hi / Some Days You Eat The Bear... And Some Days The Bear Eats You" is a rollercoaster of emotions and musical styles that will have you reaching for the nearest bear to hug.

On "Valley Hi", Matthews takes us on a journey through sunny California, with laid-back grooves and breezy melodies that make you want to hop in a convertible and hit the open road. Tracks like "Do I Still Figure in Your Life" and "Dirty Work" ooze with West Coast charm, while Matthews' smooth vocals keep you swaying along.

But just when you think you've got Matthews pegged as a laid-back troubadour, he flips the script with "Some Days You Eat The Bear... And Some Days The Bear Eats You". This second half of the album is a wild ride through experimental folk-rock, with tracks like "Keep On Sailing" and "Recover Your Soul" pushing boundaries and challenging the listener to keep up.

Overall, "Valley Hi / Some Days You Eat The Bear... And Some Days The Bear Eats You" is a delightful mix of nostalgia and innovation that showcases Matthews' versatility as an artist. So grab your nearest bear (or just a good pair of headphones) and dive into this musical feast. Just be prepared for some unexpected twists and turns along the way.
