Album Review: Matt Gresham - The Beautiful Emptiness

Lukas Murphy

"These songs are meaningful and profound, with wisdom, life and worlds of experience behind them."

More Matt Gresham Matt Gresham

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.
