Description/Reviews: 

... Matthew Anderson's album Lunar Tide is a lesson in style and restraint, offering ten moments of progressive rock with alternative, folk, and even some electronica thrown in. Let's call it Progressive Alt Trip Folk.
But that would still be compartmentalising these songs. Matthew's exceptional instincts elevate this music to an ethereal status. Only here have I heard labored, gravelly vocals (a la Beck) meshed with the musical quirkiness of Radiohead. The result is an immensely enjoyable package. Throw in a touch of folk melody, and you have a unique recipe for some deceptively thoughtful music.
