MATT CORBY

‘MY FALSE’ and ‘LIGHTHOME’

Having spent the last 9 months writing and recording in London, Melbourne and Sydney, and playing live shows across Australia and London, local Sydney singer/songwriter Matt Corby is releasing his first new material since his debut EP ‘Song For…’ in 2009.

‘My False’ is a stomping folk anthem recorded in Melbourne with Dann Hume, who produced Lisa Mitchell’s  debut album ‘Wonder’, whilst ‘Lighthome’, recorded in London late last year, is a stunningly stark ode to the draw of home. In February, Lighthome was featured on the critically acclaimed UK Communion compilation, brainchild of Mumford and Sons Ben Lovett.

Both tracks will be available online from May 21.

2009 was an incredible year for Matt. He released his critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Song For…’, signed a publishing deal out of the UK with industry giant BMG and has signed a record deal with Communion, one of the hottest independent labels in the UK.

Over the next 6 months, Matt will record his debut UK EP in London with Communion, play his first national Australian tour in July, support Mumford and Sons across two shows at the Enmore Theatre and finish off his debut Australian album due for release later this year.

‘My False’ and ‘Lighthome’ are released on May 21, 2010 through Scorpio Music
