Matt Hebert

About

"World-weary," "whiskey-soaked," "unbearably gorgeous," and "timeless." These are a few things that have been said about Matt Hebert and his numerous projects over the span of his career. Beginning with his Alt-Country act, Ware River Club and later with the revolving outfit Haunt, Matt Hebert has released seven full-length albums, including two under his own name. Hebert has shared the stage with many of his heroes, including Emmylou Harris, Bob Mould, The Jayhawks, Dave Alvin, Ellis Paul, Daniel Johnston, Richard Buckner, Freedy Johnston, Tift Merritt, and Anders Parker, to name a few. His third solo release, “Where The Heart Beats Slow” takes root from his move to Santa Fe in 2016. Relocating to an art-filled town filled with adobe homes on tiny, crooked streets and awe-inspiring sunsets nestled in between mountains offered a chance to relax, reset and rebuild life’s path; the seven songs on “Where the Heart Beats Slow” are the result. The title track sings “Honey come up to the peak and lay your heart in front of me/ Let’s go, where the heart beats slow”, illustrating a renewed outlook on relationships. The album is evocative of light and breezy summer days accompanied by cool, desert nights. The introspective and emotional challenging lyrics lend to an unassuming dichotomy to the record’s 70’s AM radio influenced sound, peppered with Moogs and angular guitars.
