MORE ABOUT MATTHEW FOWLER
MATTHEW FOWLER'S STUNNING LABEL DEBUT, THE GRIEF WE GAVE OUR MOTHER, IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL WORK OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND INTROSPECTION, SHOWCASING HIS JOURNEY THROUGH YOUNG ADULTHOOD. THE ALBUM RADIATES THE JOY, HEARTBREAK, AND CONFUSION OF GROWING UP, WITH COMPLEX ARRANGEMENTS BLENDING DYNAMIC GUITARS, BREATHY WOODWINDS, AND LUSH HARMONIES INTO A SOUNDSCAPE THAT MERGES TRADITIONAL ROOTS MUSIC WITH EXPERIMENTAL CHAMBER FOLK.
FOWLER’S RAW AND DIRECT VOCAL DELIVERY EVOKES COMPARISONS TO DAMIEN RICE, GLEN HANSARD, RAY LAMONTAGNE, AND BEN HOWARD, CREATING A RECORD THAT IS BOTH BOLD AND TIMID, HOPEFUL AND ANXIOUS.
FOWLER'S PATH TO THIS ALBUM WAS SHAPED BY HIS EARLY LOVE FOR MUSIC, STARTING WITH WRITING AND RECORDING AT 14 AND HIS DEBUT RELEASE AT 19. HIS TIME IN GAINSEVILLE, WHERE HE HONED HIS SKILLS AND WORKED AT A LIVE MUSIC VENUE, EVENTUALLY LED HIM ON A TOUR WITH FRIENDS THAT INFLUENCED THE RAW, LIVE-RECORDED NATURE OF THE ALBUM.
COLLABORATING WITH PRODUCER SHANE LEONARD, FOWLER’S INTUITIVE APPROACH TO RECORDING CAPTURED THE COLLABORATIVE ENERGY OF HIS LIVE PERFORMANCES. THE ALBUM REFLECTS ON PERSONAL GROWTH, CHANGES, AND THE IMPACT OF SONGWRITING AND TOURING ON HIS LIFE.
