Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles

Description

To mark the label's 20th anniversary, Third Side Records is reissuing on vinyl "A Whisper And A Sigh" and "Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles", the first two albums by Syd Matters. Acclaimed from the release of the single End&Start Again in 2003, his style, both epic and stripped-down, his magnetic voice and his spectacular constructions established a unique artist and left a mark on an entire generation. Two decades later, his music has lost none of its enchanting character or evocative power. Listening to the magnificent Black & White Eyes, To All Of You or Obstacles, the magic is still there, intact. The melodies that emerge are beautiful and singular, imbued with a gentle melancholy. As if from another age, from a magical and dreamlike world from which one never truly returns. "A Whisper And A Sigh" and "Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles" have undergone a careful, fully analog remastering. They are available for pre-order accompanied by a booklet containing lyrics, unpublished documents and archive images. For video game fans, this album includes the tracks Obstacles and To All of You, which are the flagship tracks of the game Life is Strange.
