Matthew & Me – Every Day (Beatnik Records)

| Matthew & Me - Every Day |
Release Date: Out Now
I have such a soft spot for
Matthew & Me but I sometimes worry that this is partly down to the fact
that they always look a bit sad and recently rejected. Then again, they do make
great tunes as well so maybe they’re happy on the inside. The latest single
from the Totnes duo is ‘Every Day’ and it starts off with a Prince-esque bit of
synth work before the vocals and beat kick in to give this a more XX meets the
Maccabees vibe – that’s the XX, Prince and the Maccabees before we hit the
minute mark, definitely happy in side I reckon. For a duo that spend most of
their time in the relatively rural surrounds of Devon’s Totnes, this has a
deliciously urban pulse and spirit about it which is hard to resist. It’s also
really hard to avoid the urge to stick this on in the car and drive through a
city centre at night – like a pimp.
