Did you discover As Matthew Falls ?
As Matthew Falls is the name used by Kent/London (UK) based songsmith Tess.
Tess' early experiences
of music came from blank tapes and recording the top 40 every Sunday. Here, he
found a love for everything from John Lennon to Punk. No music escaped those
tapes or his attention. This, mixed with a short attention span for things that
dont evolve, has guaranteed a varied musical offering from this solo artist and
his debut album features everything from Kinks inspired riffs to piano melodies
and Glastonbury folk. Yet his love for a tune has never belied his wish
to express honesty in his lyrics. This isnt diet coke but the full phat stuff
that may clog your veins (allegedly). His debut album, written whilst living in Greenwich (London, UK) raises all kinds of emotions from the fun filled tuneage of OUTSIDE to the harsh bitterness of IN BLOOD, a gripping tune recounting the tragic murder of a local girl.
The FOUR tracks featured for your perusal are:
1. OUTSIDE (IN THE SUN) a chronically ill kid hears the world from behind his window and wishes. "I want to go outside, where the kids are hip, choppers and space dust licks".
2. MISERY SHE'S THE BEST where would you be without all your misery, would you be the same ?
3. HE FALLS TO EARTH (LIVE DEMO VERSION) if you stopliving life according to someone else's termss what fdo you become to them ?
4. LIVING IN A STATE OF hold me, help me, tel me that you love me.

Born just outside of London, his unique voice comes from a life that has seen him live and lodge far and wide from Kent, Greenwich, The Midlands, Devon, Seattle and Texas in the States. He currently lives in Folkestone.

Dont be a stranger, just be
stranger..
Love Tess
