Matt Malone is a singer/songwriter formed in the blues, country, folk and gospel tradition of the deepest south. His commanding baritone and masterfully crafted songs are often compared to the dark princes of musical history - Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Mark Lanegan and Nick Cave.
Malone has earned a cult following through his fire and brimstone performances, where he invokes a powerful vision of redemption, love and hope, whose work has received considerable critical acclaim.
'★★★★, Cracked, haunted, fantastic.'
- The Sydney Morning Herald
"Matt Malone deals in dark, heavy and sombre music... his voice a gothic, stentorian and preacher-like baritone. There are obvious touchstones like Nick Cave, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Johnny Cash who he absorbs into his death blues soundtrack of rattling strings, ghostly sounds and strummed wasteland ballads."
- The Music
‘Whatever juju, alchemy or disturbed darkness that made Jim Morrison put on a pair of leather trousers & shock the world out of its apathy… Matt has got it!’
- Kim Salmon (The Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon)
