Matt Jones – MySpace Music Review
by Bambi Weavil
Matt Jones
Official MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/mattspainting
Matt Jones is a singer/songwriter with a poetic strength in his lingering and powerfully vulnerable music. “Jugular Bones and Blisters” starts off with a haunting violin and spreads into Matt’s gorgeous acoustic sound. His music is hauntingly organic, and engaging, even in a moment of silence, I feel his lingering voice and deep music is influencing the pause into the next song. His songwriting is visual and poetic, gothic Americana that is able to capture moments the way they are and the way they feel.
“Threadlines” is a frantic poetic percussion, reminding me a lot of Shannon Wright’s music and is one of my favorite tracks of Matt Jone’s MySpace. “Hand Out The Drugs” is a interesting and inventive commentary (with hand clapping accompaniment) on burying yourself and operating with hurt with a wounded deck. Two live recordings of “A Right To Arms” and “Holy Light” remind me of Ferron and Ani DiFranco. Matt creates beautiful music that reminds you how to feel life even when you don’t want to.
