Matt Saxton’s folk pop album

Hailing from East Sussex in the UK, Matt Saxton is an accomplished singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who makes his own style of timeless folk rock and pop music. Offering a sound that captures the traditions of English folk writing with tinges of inspirations from across the Atlantic, his music is characterised by her deep and compelling vocal work, carrying his thoughtful and reflective lyricism.

Since 2005, he’s been sharing his stunning sonic vision via album releases. Following the release of his debut record, Surrender to Happiness, he’s followed it up with four more albums over the years, most recently with last year’s full-length titled It’s Only Now That I Know.

Featuring eight new songs from Matt Saxton, his latest album is a graceful collection of beautifully crafted modern folk music that’s full of emotion and captivating melodic writing. Throughout It’s Only Now That I Know, the artist shares his trademark classic folk style with touches of synth-based instrumentation and drum loops on some of the songs.

Drawing on his vast experience gained over many years as a musician and songwriter, Matt Saxton has found that he’s more easily capable of understanding the triggers from his youth which have caused him anxiety over his life. The resulting writing on his latest album therefore showcases some darker, more profound elements all wrapped up in his uplifting sonic outlook.

Recording the demos for each track at home, the final versions were all recorded and mixed at the Animal Farm Studios in London over ten days.
