In other Matt news, Aquarius Records recently posted a lovely review of his Paths of Ignition album. Among other flattering accolades, they write:
"It's a little hard to put a finger on what exactly makes Baldwin's sound so special, it could be more of a focus on classic melody, than on pick and strum, the opening track on Paths Of Ignition darkly unfurls into a warm whirring pastoral guitarscape, lots of major key melodies, unlikely harmonies, strange bits of slippery slide, and plenty of electric guitar buzz, some soaring growling leads, all woven into some haunting raga infused psychedelic space folk. The whole track is laced with tangles of wild almost-shredding guitar, deep resonant drones, swirling little melodic flourishes, it all transforms -his- take on Appalachia into something much more tripped out, psych rock and almost poppy in its prettiness."
UPDATE: It turns out the awesome Julian Cope loves Matt's album even more than we already knew he did. Check it: we got Album of the Month!
Paths of Ignition is available now.
