It's Heavy In Here (BLUE VINYL) [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Eric Matthews "It's Heavy In Here" reissued by Past (Last) Night From Glasgow.

It's Heavy in Here hearkens back to the days when pop music was heavily orchestrated with string arrangements, brass ensemble - the whole nine yards.

Matthews takes that style and revamps it for the '90s, and creates some great tunes. All of the melodies are precise, all of the hooks are dead-on. Matthews doesn't pull any punches and the album starts off with the simply grandiose "Fanfare."

"Fanfare" marches in and plops itself down in all of its triumphant glory. Matthews' raison d'etre seems to be summed up in the opening lines.
