Matt York branches out on his with Boston, Texas CD; former Wide Iris front man has his own sound

Matt York’s new solo album Boston, Texas finds the former Wide Iris front man playing an eclectic mix of flinty roots-rock material. His vocal approach maintains a fine balance between warmth and seriousness. While the personality behind his songs is open and inviting, he also reflects a seriousness about his topics that give each number substance. Though York is playing in another musical territory than his old indie punk band, he’s still young at heart and still values the importance of a good song and a riff that pulls you into it.
