Matthew and the Atlas - Full Performance (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

Matthew and the Atlas, the project led by British songwriter Matt Hegarty, released an excellent new record this year, called “Morning Dancer”. Since his first two LPs ('Other Rivers' and 'Temple') and the four stripped back EPs that preceded and followed them, Hegarty has traversed a range of musical territories from classic acoustic folk, to dramatic synth-laden electronica, and urgent guitar led alt-rock. The common thread has been a songwriting style that marries a subtle melodic sensibility with lyrics full of natural imagery and dark emotional heft - all delivered in his striking and distinctive vocal. The new record has familiar elements: the energy and intensity of the live show, stripped and delicate confessional moments, and touches of the synth heavy drama that characterized his debut.
To that mix, brass and woodwind were added, together with a playful looseness to the production and arrangements that takes the songs and Hegarty’s voice to a new place altogether.
On November 11, 2019 Matthew and The Atlas visited music show "2 Meter Sessies" in Amsterdam to play live 4 songs of the new album.
Setlist:
[00:10] 'Pyres'
[03:57] 'Low'
[07:25] 'Plaything'
[11:01] 'Waging a War'

Underappreciated! So good

[@brenxster4543]

Excellent team and performance

[@TheSpungos]

This is so, so good. A lot of people complain about the slew of mediocre music being pushed out these days (and they're often right about that). This is an antidote to that.

Sometimes certain bands/music sit just right with you. MATA does for me. I’m back watching this. When “Low” comes in. So great.
