BLOGGER MP3 HUGGER ON THE SINGLE "LIGHT & EASE" (RELEASED AUGUST 26TH)

Picked up on a certain Simon & Garfunkel like folk sprawl here and that was before Art wandered into our lives after all these years. It is a faithful take on a formula that is as virulent as it was back at the peak of their fame. Despite all that this track allows for all sorts of meaningful disengagement from the constant poking and prodding of modern life, because it disentangles itself from wi-fi and alerts to instead roam the signal free country meadows where we were always at our happiest. Mattias is definitely onto something here and soon we will follow his every word. ” - mp3hugger

Words about "highs & Lows"

There is a lovely warm glow that arrives with this album. It is a typically reflective piece of work, not uncommon in this genre, but at the back end of what has seemed like an interminably miserable year, it is, as a well-known Peruvian bear might have opined had he been so inclined, a marmalade sandwich for the soul on a dark December day.” - Peter Churchill

Americana-UK

But then things change. Mattias Lies leaves west coast America, still with folk purity in hand, and ventures into melodic innocence of, say, the best of all the great songs of Don McLean that lived in the shadow of ‘American Pie’. (That’s a big compliment.)” - Bill Golembeski
