Last Trip To The Sea | Matthew Moss

I was just looking through some older demos to see what was there. I found this one. I recorded this around 9 months ago, I wrote it just after I’d finished recording the I Am Gone EP so it never really had a home. I do this thing where I write and write and write between EPs. I’ll write maybe 3 batches of songs before I finally get round to putting anything to tape and I usually get bored of or weed out the earlier songs. This one just sort of fell by the wayside. It’s one of my songs that involve the sea, there are a lot of those. I always liked this one anyway.

This year’s attempt at a christmas song it a sort of short ode to winter.  If only I had the time to record it perfectly, but things have lately become very hectic.  I hope you like it, and feel free to download it.

Happy Christmas.

Martyr | Matthew Moss

This is a song from my current EP, Slip Away, which is a free 3-track ep which you can download here: www.matthewmoss.bandcamp.com/album/slip-away

It’s pretty introspective and very simple.

You can download this for free over on bandcamp

A short film I made from footage I filmed during a walk up a local hill, the featured song ‘Alright’ comes from my new EP ‘Slip Away’.

I’ve never tried to put anything like this together before, interesting process. Hope you enjoy it.

Slip Away can be downloaded for free at: www.matthewmoss.bandcamp.com

Hello all, It’s been a while since I put out an EP but rest assured I have been busy.  Over the past 8 months I’ve been busy writing and demoing and today I’m releasing the first batch of songs in the shape of a new EP called ‘Slip Away’. I wrote 2 of the songs last month and the eponymous track itself back in March, it was mostly recorded in one take so ‘Slip Away’ has sort of a rough sound (and hopefully charm) to it.  The EP cover was created by Hannah Buske, her beautiful photo of the Australian Glasshouse Mountains is truly stunning.  There is also a short video to accompany the new EP, there are more details on that bellow but it, along with lots of videos of me singing infront of a wardrobe, can be found here. The EP is available to download now for free on bandcamp here.  I hope you’ll enjoy it. Thanks for reading, Matthew x

New EP out Friday

All I’m currently listening too. More of the same but slightly different again. I don’t think the Black Keys have ever put a bad record out. I think I still like Brothers a little more than Camino, early days though.

Writing Chirstmas Songs and Why We Should All Give Cliff Richard The Credit He Is Due

It’s come to that time of year again where I feel the urge to attempt a Christmas song, most years I start but never finish, last year I managed to finish one called Snow Blind which was half decent.  This year I am trying again. 

But when it comes to writing Christmas songs there are difficulties - the biggest of which is negotiating cliche.   A little cliche is ok, last year I was a little too heavy on cliche.  You see you can go about a Christmas song in a few ways you can do the kitsch White Christmas, Wonderful Christmas Time, Last Christmas route and be very cliched and lovey dovey about it.  Or you can write a song about winter, but there is only so much you can say about snow. 

So considering Cliff has had more Christmas no#1s than any other human alive then we should probably give him some credit because writing Christmas songs is a tricky business.

Ebow’d Guitar & Harmonium

Recording some new songs, this is a quick video of me recording some of the overdubs, guitar and harmonium.  1 minute 24 seconds of noises, and my knee and arm.

This is what recording in your bedroom looks like, it’s as good a studio as any.  Got lots of bits done, the basis or at least demos of half a dozen new songs.  One almost finished.  Video of some overdubs coming next.
