Matt Marr’s ‘Beach In The Fallin’ Rain’ out now
One of the main reasons Honey Be Records came into existence was to help spread the word about music we’d heard and then loved. There are many, many incredible recordings – labours of love, even – from “local” artists with anything but “local” attitudes to their music and its “listenership”. Beach In The Fallin’ Rain is one of them. When we first heard this deeply personal album written by Matt Marr and recorded along with longtime band mates from The Marlins – Tom Bradford and Paul ‘Dixie’ Harley – it was early 2006.
Since then Matt has released a self-titled solo EP, available here and has his second full-length offering, Currency of Souls, waiting in the wings for an early Spring 2010 release on Honey Be Records. Beach… remains a deeply personal collection of songs, the precursor to his latest output. The themes are those of loss, nostalgia, random weekends in Amsterdam, the fictional mixed with fact enhanced by the melodies and sounds within.
Beach In The Fallin’ Rain is available now from Matt Marr’s Bandcamp site either as a download or for just one more of your Earth pounds the CD AND the download, wheee! You can also listen to the album right now on this very page (look to your right a bit!) If that’s not enough, then mattmarr.co.uk holds the key to a free track from the forthcoming Currency of Souls. You’ll be asked to sign up to Matt’s occasional email newsletter in order to get the track, but you can unsubscribe instantly.
Thanks so much for reading, we hope you’ll love this record as much as we do, please feel free to spread the word far and wide because we’re a tiny voice in a big room! Buy Matt Marr’s Beach In The Fallin’ Rain here…
