Bittersweet Machines landed on my radar last year with the release of No Bad Horizon. More recently, I featured the new album The Stars and Ground. The focus now is the lead single off the new album, Break Your Love Apart.

Introducing the song with a beautifully played acoustic guitar melody, Matt’s passionate voice leads us through a soundscape that builds into a wall of sound powered by deep bass, layered guitars, and an intensifying energy.

That energy builds throughout the hooks and the tension releases with smooth transitions back to the beautiful, calming guitar melody that kicked off this strong single.

Matt’s voice is powerful. His high calibre of song crafting skills undeniable. With production work by Mark McKee, Break Your Love Apart (and the rest of the album) sounds great in your ear buds, your car speakers, your studio monitors, or however you listen to music.

The high quality of production matched with Matt’s excellent songwriting and musicianship guarantees a worthwhile and highly enjoyable listening experience!
