Beren_Matthews Place_Circumstance CD Grip-Like_Vice
In recent years guitarist, Beren Matthews has joined alt-rock leading lights The Pineapple Thief for US and European tours and performed headlining shows in the UK and Japan with pop royalty Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin. Hand-picked by drummer Gavin Harrison and cited by keyboardist Stewart as "the most dynamic and versatile guitarist I've worked with," Matthews also pursues a parallel solo career in which his distinctive and original songwriting style comes to the fore.
 
Recorded with his band Grip-Like Vice over a three-year period, Place//Circumstance charts a turbulent period in the life of a young Cornish musician dealing with financial hardship, homelessness and relationship turmoil at a time of unpredictable change. Melodic, carefully-crafted and bearing traces of XTC, the album blends a furious rock attitude with moments of melancholic self-reflection.
 
An unfiltered and deeply affecting autobiographical exposé direct from the Cornish underground.
