Matt Costa releases a new album, 无毛视频淟oving You.无毛视频�
The self-titled fourth album from Matt Costa is a charming venture back to the vintage sounds of the 无毛视频�60s and 无毛视频�70s.聽
The California singer-songwriter follows up 2010无毛视频檚 无毛视频淢obile Chateau无毛视频� with more traces of the British Invasion through an indelible assortment of personally sophisticated arrangements.
Originally wanting to create a melancholy album featuring a moody and downbeat tempo, Costa captures the hypnotic genius of Nick Drake无毛视频檚 1970 masterpiece 无毛视频淏ryter Layter.无毛视频�
无毛视频淟oving You无毛视频� opens with a lush string introduction, only to transition into an infectious pop tune with traces of Donovan无毛视频檚 folk-pop and the glam rock of T. Rex.
Costa无毛视频檚 first release for Jack Johnson无毛视频檚 Brushfire Records was recorded in Scotland at Castle Doom in Glasgow with longtime Belle and Sebastian collaborator Tony Doogan.
The lead single, 无毛视频淕ood Times,无毛视频� possesses the back-to-basics, organic feel of John Lennon无毛视频檚 无毛视频淚nstant Karma.无毛视频�
The simplistic 无毛视频淥phelia无毛视频� offers a stripped-down accordion and harmonica filled arrangement, eerily sounding like Bob Dylan in his prime.
无毛视频淓arly November无毛视频� is a soothing love song with an airy feel resembling a classic Burt Bacharach arrangement, while 无毛视频淓yes for You无毛视频� is a breathtakingly haunting love song with Costa无毛视频檚 wife providing the ethereal backing vocals.
The playfulness of 无毛视频淪hotgun无毛视频� is enchantingly supported by the weight of the soaring strings, driving beat, whimsical melody and downright contagious vocals.
The somberly sweet 无毛视频淕olden Cathedrals无毛视频� closes the album with a Simon and Garfunkel elegance and grace, serving as an appropriate ending to an impressive piece of work.
The intimate and poignant lyrics offered by Costa innocently accentuate his well-crafted songs making for a sentimental, reflective and gratifying experience.
Unfortunately, Costa doesn无毛视频檛 have a scheduled Pittsburgh date on his latest tour list.
But Costa will perform in Cleveland on April 9 at the Beachland Ballroom.
A three-hour drive is only a minor inconvenience to have the opportunity to catch this emerging artist in his musical prime.
