“Hegarty's earthy odes to heartbreak and deliverance have a classic quality” - The Independent
“Gravelly, deep, and the glorious consistency of honey, it’s a weather-beaten, worn-in leather jacket of a voice.” - The Line Of Best Fit
British songwriter Matthew And The Atlas has announced his new album ‘This Place We Live’ will arrive on October 13th via Communion Records. The news is accompanied by new music in the form of ‘Nineteen’, a beautifully timeless track that touches on the freedom of youth, opportunity, fatherhood and reflection, as well as an extensive 30 date tour across the UK and Europe through October and November.
His first full-length release since 2019’s ‘Morning Dancer’, for Matt Hegarty (AKA Matthew And The Atlas),‘This Place We Live’ finds him embracing a bravely direct approach to songwriting, resulting in a striking collection of deeply personal songs; an introspective snapshot of a man reckoning with himself and the world at a certain stage of life, and all the gravitas that comes with it. For the first time on ‘This Place We Live’ Hegarty recorded and produced himself, working out of the home studio he built pre-pandemic. This approach gave him the time and space to evolve the songwriting and production identity over an almost two year period, before bringing in longtime collaborator Ali Chant (Yard Act, Katy J Pearson, Dry Cleaning) on additional production and mixing duties.
