2005, Empyrean Records
What can be said about Eric Matthews that hasn't already been said? His genius has been
praised by Rolling Stone, Details, Elle, SPIN, Billboard, Magnet, Entertainment Weekly,
Musician, New York Times, Interview, NME, MOJO, AP, Guitar Player, Pitchfork, and more. Matthews made his recording debut in 1994 as one half of the legendary duo, Cardinal, with Australian-born singer/songwriter, Richard Davies (best known for fronting the cult band, The Moles). Although internal conflicts forced a split, both Davies and Matthews went on to find success in solo careers. Matthews joined with Sub Pop to release two critically acclaimed albums, It's Heavy in Here and Lateness of the Hour. He has sold thousands of records worldwide, and after six long years, Eric Matthews is back with the soon-to-be classic, Six Kinds of Passion Looking for an Exit. Magnet called him "…immediate and timeless, intelligent and emotional...," while the New York Times said, "It is not classic or alternative rock, but classical rock, informed by Brahms and Brian Wilson, Rachmaninoff and David Sylvian. Eric Matthews is a pop rarity, and he knows it."
