According to the majority of the world’s more forward thinking music press Matthew E White has already delivered the first great album of 2013 and we’re only halfway through January.

We tend to buy into that theory big time, mainly because said album ‘Big Inner’ has rarely been off Bestival HQs stereogram since its release.

An album drenched in country-gospel brilliance, as life affirming as music gets, this is heart on your sleeve, hands to the heavens loveliness that cannot and trust us, will not pass you by, not if we’ve got a say in it anyway.
