Matthew And The Atlas | Old Ceremony off my album 'Other Rivers' which turns 10 this year #singersongwriter #acoustic @matthewandtheatlas | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Old Ceremony - this track started life as a quiet folk song, but it was reimagined in the studio. The guitar riff came from an unreleased track of mine, which made total sense with this song. It’s also a lot of fun to play live!
The 10 year anniversary edition vinyl of Other Rivers is available to pre-order from the MATA store now.
Founded by Matthew Hegarty, Matthew & The Atlas was borne of the folk rock movement as they became regulars at the West London Communion Club Night.
He released his first EP in 2009 on the club night’s record label, Communion Records. Since then he has released three albums, traversing 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. In the process Hegarty has quietly built a major cult following in Europe and the US.
Matt’s new album ‘This Place We Live’ arrives November 2023. For the first time it finds him taking on recording and producing duties. The result is 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
