Matt Johnston

This is the official website of the singer/songwriter, Matt Johnston. I tend to put everything on here, so have a look around. There's a fairly comprehensive set of lyrics; a slightly suspicious biography; a free album for download; some not-quite-as-free albums for sale; and a work-in-progress companion project to the albums; and some other things.

There's a
guestbook as well, so sign it while you're here. Below there's a blog, where I mention any recent changes to the site, gigs, photographs, and likely some unusual non sequiturs. And saunter over to myspace - it's the future, y'know.

Thanks for stopping by,

Matt Johnston

Diary

New album.

A new album is in the works. Deep in the works right now, so I can't even begin to predict when it will be ready.

That's all for now.

Faulty CDs

I've had some reports of faulty CDs from the first batch of Artificial Light. Apparently some copies stop playing from one track onwards (somewhere around the middle of the album), or even refuse to play at all.

If anyone gets their hands on a faulty CD, let me know and I'll replace it free of charge, although I would ask that I get sent the broken CD back so I can pass them onto my supplier.

Notes on Artificial Light

Buy the new album, Artificial Light, for £5 (plus some postage/packaging) in the Shop section.

I've put up some lengthy writings on three tracks from Artificial Light on my space. You can listen to the three songs (Good For You, Low and Are You Still Awake?) there, read up about them, and learn about things.

I really enjoyed writing those notes, although I admit they do dip into self-indulgence at times. I think I may do the rest of the album as well, and depending on how that goes I might go back and do the old albums.

Notice the new page. Re: The Songs.

Thanks guys,

Matt

Artificial Light is HERE.

  
That's right, baby! There's a boxload of CDs there, and at least one of them has your name on it. Obviously that's a figure of speech, since they all have my name on them. Not yours.

Buy it in the Shop section of the website. A select bunch of MP3s up in the next few days.
