The fifth album from WA’s Matt Gresham is an album wrought with the tender emotions of a tragic journey through love and loss.

Far more minimalistic and stripped back than the upbeat, heavy-hitting live performances that made a name for his music way back in his teens, these songs are meaningful and profound, with wisdom, life and worlds of experience behind them. Gresham often takes a step back vocally on the album, instead letting guests sing or simply recite some spoken-word musings to convey his message.
