Description
Virginia Avenue is named after the street in Broad Bay on the Otago Peninsula where Matt lives and wrote this album. Produced by renowned pairing Brett Stanton (The Phoenix Foundation) and Riki Gooch (Trinity Roots, Eru Dangerspiel), the album also features some of NZ’s finest musicians including Gooch on drums, Tom Callwood (Phoenix Foundation) on bass, and Thomas Watson (Cassette/Fly My Pretties) on guitars. It follows Langley’s critically acclaimed 2010 debut Featherbones.
Matt has spent the last two years touring the country consistently with The Eastern, Darren Watson, Mel Parsons and Australian Jordie Lane, building a formidable following nationwide.
While Featherbones was a genuine minimal masterpiece, Virginia Avenue is heavier and darker. Themed as an actual album in form, Virginia Avenue is comprised two distinct sides complete with an instrumental ‘intermission’, featuring fifteen songs that embrace the listener.
Full of heartbreak and dark humour, Langley’s not afraid to push his lyrical honesty. The core band of Gooch, Callwood and Watson free up wide open spaces on tear-your-heart-out tracks like ‘Sad Sound Good’, ‘Ghost Wanted’ and ‘So It Seems’ as well as unleashing fearsome noise on the apocalyptic ‘Unto the Ends of this Earth, before delivering the live acoustic heartache and warm harmonies of ‘Bitter End’. Virginia Avenue was recorded in Wellington at the Wright Street Production Village.
