[ Matthew Pickering Music NZ / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 11 November 2011
Matthew's album has been years in the making. It is part lament, part Spring, intelligent, honest, personal, Wellington-centric.
"Hear ye! Hear ye! I proudly present the release of my debut album, The Burnside Church. The album has been years in the making. It is part lament, part Spring, intelligent, honest, personal, Wellington-centric. Recorded at the Braeburn Studio, Wellington, engineered by Robbie Duncan.
The album is rich in imagery and reference: scenes from the ups and downs of relationship, battling with depression and coming out the other side, a mythical balloon ride, a trip to an op shop and a friend's farm, mentions of Don Binney, Woody Allen, and Van Morrison. For more on the ethos/lyrics, see the album booklet."
