Matt Anderson shares single ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships’
Painting Feathers in the Air, the new album from Nice-based ar&st and producer Matt Anderson, distils the best of a decade of whip-smart songwriitng and a recent period of feverish creaitvity where Anderson wrote and recorded 42 songs over the course of a year.
Recorded in France, Norway and the UK, the album features an interna&onal cast of musicians that Anderson has worked with over many years, creating a sound that is at turns intimate, punchy and assured.
Songs such as blistering opener Loose Lips Sink Ships and the knowing Work in Progress have long been favourites at gigs and festivals across Europe while newer numbers like Could it Be Love, Fields of Gravity and the eponymous Painting Feathers in the Air combine the mature melodic ear and memorable turns of phrase that characterise Anderson’s more recent work.
The result is a record that is crackling with sonic energy and full to the brim with beautifully observed and finely crafted songs, from an ar&st who is clearly at the top of his game.
