About Me |
|
| - Myspace LayoutsMatthew Kilford is a singer/songwriter who currently resides in the relative serenity of the Oxfordshire countryside. Matt once played guitar in the highly acclaimed indie rock outfit Belarus, but all that's in the past. The future, as they say, is where it's at. After the demise of the aforementioned Belarus, Matt began to work in earnest on his own songs, enjoying the simplicity and freedom of being able to write and perform with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. After a short while some of these songs popped up on the internet and people became extremely interested in the sounds they were hearing. For his first official solo live appearance Matt managed the rarest of feats for one man and an acoustic guitar; to silence an entire room of Friday night gig-goers, without shouting at them or using one of those airhorn things that make your ears hurt. With songs that highlight his extraordinary voice and skilful guitar playing, whilst retaining hooks and a unique songwriting slant, this is something far more magical than another acoustic troubadour furrowing his brow. After a handful of powerful performances Matt is already creating a buzz on the live circuit and has crafted a set of tunes that possess echoes of Jeff Buckley, PJ Harvey and Joni Mitchell without actually sounding like any of them. Plus he's already managed to play a show in New York, provide music for Evil Twin animations, get a mention from Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 and wear a lot of hats. Enjoy. | |
