I’m now in Hultsfred in Sweden. You can keep up with my travels on my Swedish site Swedesplease. It’s been a great time and now that we’re out in the countryside it’s been tough to find either time or a connection to post anything on Songs:Illinois. But here’s a little gem to help you pass the time.
I wrote about Matt Bauer several times over the past few years. Just recently I announced his upcoming record. I’d like to now say that the record has a release date of Sept. 2. The Island Moved In The Storm is stark, forboding folk music. Even though the music on here is at times a little dark, it’s this very music that Matt Bauer says saved his life when he had hit a rough patch.
Listen for yourself as Matt plays one of the new songs stripped down to its core live at the French collective known as Hinah.
