Matthew & Son

Vibrant 1960s baroque pop filled with theatrical brass, orchestral flourishes, and sharp character sketches. A lush, mod-influenced departure from his later folk sound.

Before he was a folk hermit, he was a mod-pop genius with a 40-piece orchestra.

A vibrant, theatrical blend of urban observation and youthful romanticism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, rhythmic brass stabs on the title track that mimic the mechanical pulse of a workday.
The sudden transition from a sparse acoustic verse to a full orchestral swell in Lady.
The jaunty, music-hall bounce of I Love My Dog that masks its genuine sentimental core.
