CMAT - EURO-COUNTRY (Limited Indies Red / Green Split Coloured Splatter 2LP Vinyl) (Vinyl LP)

It’s almost inconceivable that it’s only five years since the arrival of CMAT, as she approaches the release of her third album, EURO-COUNTRY. This fully-formed acronymic star feels like she’s been part of the culture forever - and what has endeared fans to her heart-sore tunes and humour is CMAT's ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation. EURO-COUNTRY is no different: an aural tight-rope walk that balances big themes. There's a sense of determination, of urgency, of gather round and listen up’. From re-evaluating where you come from and the impact of economics on a small country, to the attention that comes with increased fame and being a woman in the music industry. This is country music in an augmented, reimagined way. Fused with affirmative soul-pop and classic indie, climbing vocal scales and emotions in equal measure, it resists the music industry’s desire to pigeonhole artists as one genre.
