Matt Marr - Currency Of Souls
New album released 6 April 2010
Honey Be Records are proud and excited to announce the release of the second album from Matt Marr, Currency Of Souls. The album shows the diversity and depth of Matt's songwriting, developed over the past decade on the Dorset coast.
About Matt Marr:
Matt Marr was principle songwriter and vocalist in Bournemouth indie rock band, The Marlins throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.
Since initially self-releasing Beach In The Fallin' Rain in 2006, Matt has continuously written and recorded new material, culminating in 2008’s Matt Marr EP and the new release of Currency Of Souls. Matt has performed live throughout this period, including supporting Jesse Malin in London in 2008 and Andy Burroughs (ex-Razorlight)
Matt Marr's first album - Beach In The Fallin' Rain - was re-released on Honey Be Records in November 2009, as a prequel to Currency Of Souls and is available at Matt's Bandcamp site.
About Currency of Souls:
Currency Of Souls was recorded over the course of 2009 along with Adam Chetwood (The Boy Least Likely To) and Adam’s brother, Ben. The album was released 6th April 2010, and will be followed by a number of live performances from Matt, both in a solo/duo and band format. Check out UK national and local music press for details. Matt's next next gig will be: eARmusic at Monkey Chews, Camden, London on Wednesday 28th April 2010.
Four years ago Matt Marr wrote and released a collection of songs - Beach In The Fallin' Rain - which summed up his recent years to that point: nostalgic for lost youth, reflective, a little helpless, lost even. In Matt's own words, this album is the sequel to Beach..., and some of those questions about life and love have been answered.
Currency Of Souls retains Matt's gift for a tune and turn of phrase whilst adding a musical maturity that reflects the passing years, nods to classic American songwriters and a camaraderie with his contemporaries. Currency Of Souls is eclectic but always Matt Marr, influenced by others but perfected by him, personal yet accessible as he muses on the universal themes we all struggle to understand.
