I met Matt at a No Doubt concert in 2004, when he was one of the sidestage acts. He was a great performer and a nice guy, really easy to talk to and chill. I had heard him perform a few songs, but when I listened to his EP I was blown away. I highly recommend this CD for several reasons- first of all, it's great music. All the songs have a different style and vibe to them, "Astair" being my personal favorite. However, they all flow togther very nicely, and the music is beauitful and simple- untampered and at its best and purest form. Another reason I would recommend this EP is because this is only the beginning. Matt's music has been featured on MTV's Road Rules X-TREME, and he's going on tour wirh Jack Johnson. His full length-CD, Songs We Sing, is due out very shortly. Matt is going to be around for a lot longer, and it's a good thing.

Matt Costa is a good artist even though this is his EL-P album. His music is like those old folk musicians. Bob Dylan, Donovan, and James Taylor. His sound is a little different though. His voice works really well with the instrumentals he has written. Personally "Astair" is a great song. You'll be seeing more of this young man as the years go by, so go out and buy this album.

The is Matt Costa's first release, recorded in a home studio I am told. The songs are nothing short of bad ass, and the production is spartan yet inviting. This guy is an artist that moves me and will be writing songs and killing it for a long time...

Very soulful, groovy, pleasant CD. If you like Jack Johnson and happy, but mellow music you won't be disappointed. I would probably recommend buying his new album first: "Songs We Sing." It has a lot of his best songs on it from this album, plus more.
