Scott Matthew is one of the very few musicians who—well, how may we say this—strips with his music, who dissects himself to reveal his very innards with great parsimony.His voice cries without whining. His songs accuse without soliciting pity. Scott Matthew’s music has truth and exigency. And he forms this into songs that are purely magnetic, that expose an honest beauty and sorrow, allowing listeners to take and feel part of the experience.Scott wrote and performed several songs in John Cameron Mitchell's (of Hedwig and the Angry Inch) recent film "Shortbus. in addition Scott has performed songs for the "Ghost in the Shell" The Japanese anime series, the "Cowboy Be-Bop" feature film(available on victor records) and has written lyrics for Billy Preston for the title song of Japanese Anime "Licensed by Royal".

“One of the best things about John Cameron Mitchell's wonderful new film "Shortbus" is the music of Scott Matthew, a little known New York-based songwriter whose extraordinary performances in the film will hopefully put him on the path to a successful career. Matthew plays quiet chamber pop, the spare arrangements punctuated by trombone and glockenspiel in a way that might be cute if it weren't for the uncommon power of Matthew's voice, a voice so drowning in sorrow and pathos that it pulls you down with it.†Salon.com“Scott Matthew is an immeasurable help to the Shortbus soundtrack.†- Kevin Maher – The London Times..
