PREMIERE: Allan Smithy - Four Letter Reason

Veteran Aussie muso Matt Amery — he of Tin Sparrow renown — is shrouding himself in the well-worn blanket of anonymity with his new solo pursuit as Allan Smithy, and The Music is stoked to be premiering his gorgeous new single, Four Letter Reason, today.

The film buffs among you will undoubtedly recognise Amery's chosen moniker as an adaptation of the 'Alan Smithee' pseudonym used by actors and directors when they don't want to put their real name to a piece of work — which only raises questions a to why Amery would possibly want to hide his contributions here, given how assured and polished this track is.

Flying under the self-described banner of 'nostalgia-Australiana', Allan Smithy is here to fill your soul with warm, beguiling tunes designed to tap into deep feelings that reside in all of us as denizens of this wide, wonderful and weird country.
