Matthew Connor, “How is July Already Over?” from the Album “Farewell Motel”

Having established himself as a talented songwriter and performer on his 2014 album Farewell Motel, Boston-based avant pop specialist Matthew Connor is now ready to submerge his stories in sonic muck.

Throughout his career, Connor’s work has been influenced by his love of film; he creates brief, fleeting moments that fold in on one another, portraying the emotions that serve as undercurrents to everyday life. The Alabama-born Connor studied voice and composition at North Carolina School of the Arts before relocating to Boston. He takes his prodigious talent and rigorous training to craft songs that are covered in static and hiss and distortion, but sparkle underneath the noise surrounding them. Matthew Connor is one of Boston’s most vibrant musicians, creating art music that’s as startling as it is gorgeous.

Video directed by Marc McAndrews. Starring Matthew Connor and Hunter Canning.

This is a great song in the style of old fashion crooners. Seek out his music: Farewell Motel, Smoke Signals, and his new Night After Night.
