There is an Océan That Divides Us

Description

Born in Queensland, Australia, SCOTT MATTHEW owes his early successes to his performances for the Japanese animated series "Ghost In The Shell" and his compositions for the film score of "Shortbus". Then in 2007, his phenomenal debut self-titled album was acclaimed by critics for its free, melancholic, and powerful music. There Is An Ocean That Divides And With My Longing I Can Charge It With A Voltage Thats So Violent To Cross It Could Mean Death is the emphatic title of this new album, yet strikingly beautiful. Richer and more varied than the first, There Is An Ocean that divides emerges as a luminous collection, blending catchy tracks like "Thistle" with delicate atmospheres partly owed to the contributions of other artists: MIKE SKINNER on production, guitars by SPENCER COBRIN, ex-MORRISSEY, and vocals, piano, cellos, bass by MARISOL LIMON MARTINEZ, EUGENE LEMCIO, CLARA KENNEDY, HOLLY MIRANDA...
