A Gospel Of Some Sort

Description

After a long absence, Syd Matters makes a grand return with "A Gospel of Some Sort," their fifth album. It features that characteristic atmosphere that is both ancient and synthetic in their music. Filled with a gentle melancholy, Syd Matters established themselves in the indie folk scene in the mid-2000s alongside artists like José González and Bon Iver. Their leader, Jonathan Morali, then turned to film and video game music, reaching a new audience with the soundtrack of the worldwide hit "Life Is Strange." They are back today with "A Gospel of Some Sort," a beautiful and soothing album that carries their signature sound: acoustic guitar, magnetic vocals, and synthesizers blend together, weaving a modern folk music.
