The headline says it all – today marks the first official release from Matt & The Watt Gives, the new project from Matt Pelham of The Features. The song, “Cutting Ties,” is available everywhere right now and I’m happy to report that Pelham’s distinctive voice and songwriting hasn’t lost an ounce of allure since the last time we heard from The Features.
The song is on Bandcamp, Ampwall and streaming everywhere. I urge you to get it in your ears as soon as possible. If you’re curious to know more about the undertaking, we’re fortunate enough to have a bio for the project written by Matt’s daughter, Edith Pelham (who also did the fantastic artwork). No better person to explain this outing than Edith:
Matt and the Watt Gives is the new solo project of long time Features front-dude, Matt Pelham. Since the disbanding of the Features in 2016, Matt has found himself very busy with a large variety of grown-up junk… Now, after eight years, for his sanity and the sanity of the people around him, Matt has decided to write, record, and play music again.
So perfectly, succinctly, put. This is the first of many new songs from the undertaking so be sure to following @mattandthewattgives on Instagram and drop a follow on Bandcamp, so you can be notified of new releases.
