about

Newcastle-based songsmith Mat Hunsley returns with two live recordings from his recent EP A Worrier's Dream.


Recorded and filmed live in a single take, these reimagined solo versions of Friend & Foe and Backward Steps see Mat strip away the textured accompaniments that we heard on the full release. Left behind are the songs in their rawest and most endearing forms, rich with colourful harmony, heartfelt sentiment, and soothing baritone.


This release will be closely followed by perhaps Mat's most enchanting release to date - Just The Family Inside. With intricacy akin to Fleet Foxes and bursting with charm comparable to Bright Eyes' First Day Of My Life, Just The Family Inside provides yet further proof that Mat has become a writer comparable to few others.

lyrics

After one long year in this neighbourhood
I am picturing you in Hollywood
Parked up in the shade
After hiking the whole damn day
To see some letter board the world has seen
But it's worth it though just to show them the photos

Next stop now is Yosemite
The wandering hills in green relief
And the waterfalls and the grand ravines
You'll be nothing if not the mountain queen
The diamond in my mountain scene
And what's more, it is all for me

We have been lucky
Little has gone wrong
It could be worse
The only thing we can be sure of
Is that it's forecast

To come down heavier than now
It'll come down heavier than now
And the truth of this makes it hard
To be mindful of where we are
To be mindful of where we were at the start

After one long year of big turnarounds
It's the fourth time now that I have talked you down
But on your wedding night, in you wedding white
You'll be pleased it was just the family inside
To watch you marry me in our own damn time
And the sweet relief that, after everything, we'll be fine

We have been lucky
Little has gone wrong
It could be worse
The only thing we can be sure of
Is that it's forecast

To come down heavier than now
It'll come down heavier than now
And the truth of this makes it hard
To be mindful of where we are
To be mindful of where we were at the start
