Syd Matters

Since the very beginning, what has been so astonishing is the artistry of his songwriting, his airy, dreamlike, dense style, and his unique touch that you recognise immediately. Putting it differently, we could say Syd Matters belongs to a European middle class in decline, and this would explain why he is so melancholic. But he is also part of an active minority that has chosen to distance itself from society’s greedy, empty show. A minority that prefers the desire of abstinence to forced orgasms. This is Syd Matters’ path to a bright future – and it starts right here.
