Biography
Brilliant- New York Magazine Matt Bauer conjures a warm yet slightly eerie mood with his banjo driven alt folk. The Greenpoint-via-Kentucky folkster has a gorgeous whispery way with a song. -Time Out New York Bauer, as a writer, focuses on those moments that fail to cease. They continue on and they make you worry about them for longer than you’d admit. You want to hear more about them. You’d like the other pieces, for their sparseness and their dances in the gloaming light is enchanting. He sings about those people, places and things passing in the night. It feels like most of what he’s interested in occurs during these pitch-black nights, where we can sense that we’re not alone, but we can never be sure. We want to know what’s out there, what’s more. We want to know what’s brushing against us, cutting through the air unseen. It seems to be a part of us, so we yearn. He yearns.” - Daytrotter There is an economic darkness on this recording. Lonely banjos ride along sharp ridges, horns swirl in cold creeks, and there is subtle sense of loss in Bauer’s music that leaves the impression of a man whose demons will not be stilled." -Skyscraper An album of fragile beauty - Under the Radar Bauer creates a gorgeous musical travelogue, both spare and fully orchestrated —Irene Trudel, WFMU Program Host Moody folk that’s as much Appalachian as it is apparition. - IFC
