My new record ‘Many Times’ is out today!
Early autumn last year I spent two days at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales. I travelled there with producer Kev Jones with the aim of recording a guitar and vocal performance, straight to tape, with as little takes as possible...
Ten years ago I released Temple and Temple Unplugged on Communion Records. Both are now available on coloured vinyl for the first time, with a limited signed and numbered art print. Pre-orders open now → https://t.co/O2yrCWcv03

Upcoming Show
Wednesday 5th November with @Matthew_Atlas
Founded by Matt Hegarty, Matthew and the Atlas was borne of the late 00’s folk rock movement as he became a regular in the West London scene. It was after playing at the Communion Clubnight that the event-turned-Record label released his first official EP in 2010. Since then, he has released four albums, traversing a range of musical territories from classic acoustic folk, to dramatic synth-laden electronica, and urgent guitar led alt-rock. The common thread has been a song-writing style that marries a subtle melodic sensibility with lyrics full of natural imagery and dark emotional heft - all delivered in his striking and distinctive vocal. In the process Hegarty has quietly built a major cult following in Europe and the US.
On his latest record, Matt travelled to the famous Rockfield Studios in Wales, recording 11 tracks live to tape over just a couple of days. Here he worked with Kevin Jones (Wunderhorse, Jay Anderson, Bear’s Den), and their aim was to capture a moment in time and a sense of place into the recording, with all the magic and intimacy just a lone voice and a guitar can bring.
