The track is from the distinctive, nostalgia-tinged artist’s upcoming sophomore LP Moontime
A brand new release that is packed full of nuance, subtlety, and a memorably moody atmospheric tension that feels both engrossing and interesting, latest Leo Walrus single ‘Matthew’s Line’ is a track that serves as one of darkest moments on his forthcoming new LP Moontime.
The narrative sees the track honing in on themes like obsession, fixation and isolation, making for a listening experience that is filled with uncertainty throughout, masterfully echoing this tension through a soundscape that has murky undertones, but underneath a layer of laid-back composure. It makes for a really captivating listening experience that is packed full of charm and creative ideas, further carving out a unique identity for the artist as a compelling songwriter who’s guile and ambition continues to lead to memorable and expansive releases.
Matthew’s Line is certainly one of the darkest moments on the upcoming album, as Walrus speaks on the song, “the dynamic, changeable arrangement tells just as much of a story as the tumultuous-yet-conversational lyrics.” The idea of idolisation to extremes and the repercussions are all tied together, both sonically, lyrically and visually.
