CONSTELLATIONS is a special release to coincide with Matt's performance in London's Kings Place theatre as part of Robin Ince's 'Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People.'
The song is a timely expression of love, goodwill and human feelings. We are like lost souls in the Galaxies, like stars in a mass of constellations - and yet, we can still find each other:
'Love is our universe of chance situations,
With two stars colliding in the same direction'
The song deviates from musical genres that are usually associated with Matt Watson and is presented in a style more reminiscent of the Tamla and Popular music styles of the 1960s. It features some magnificent playing from saxophonist Myke Clifford and its gospel-like backing vocals have been very ably supplied by the super talented Lauren Dove.
Other musicians on this recording are:
Piers Hunt - Organ
Mark Howes - Guitar
Stuart Paterson - Drums
John Vigar - Bass
Recordied and produced by John Vigar for Tontena Music.
The first single from the album is called Outside (They Don't Know Who I Am):
