Album Of The Day: Swallow The Sea by Matthew Perryman Jones
Released 17 years ago yesterday, this is the third album from this folk/rock singer-songwriter. Matthew Perryman Jones's songs are well-crafted and I love the rock vibe, but when I've seen him play live, it's with just an acoustic guitar and the songs sound just as good in that form too. Lyrically, his songs are about the trials and troubles of life, but some spiritual language occasionally points to hope, though in no way is this steeped in religious references. I don't listen to Matthew Perryman Jones too often, but every time I do listen, I always like it more than I remember and think I should listen to him more often. He's one of those indie singer-songwriters that is not well-known but should not be overlooked.
