I Will Write Your Song: Peach Vinyl LP
SSR098LPC1Label: Soul Step Records (Colemine Records)
Release Date: 6th September
Oh Matt Duncan 'Will Write Your Song' alright, is that a boast? He seems so good at the songrcraft I reckon he'd make you the finest AM rock in an afternoon and wouldn;t think anything of it. Obviously he'd keep the gold for himself and pop it on his latest album. This record sounds like one of those £5 records you pull out the crate, check it at the shop, get blown away by how immediate the soft yacht rock disco funk is, think you'd got yourself some lost gem but in fact everyone had this record back in 1972 and your parents see it on your shelf and remark 'oh that's a classic'. If you like Steely Dan, Prime Micky Mac Doobies, Chris Cross and all that, this is your jam.
This album is a musical trip down memory lane. Remember when your Mom and Dad were listening and getting down to the AM Radio? This album is that vibe. These songs are stories from real people who wanted songs about their lives written by Matt Duncan during the pandemic. Matt Duncan's incredible ability to arrange is on full display as the different stories lend themselves to different sounds. Retro and authentic music fills the grooves to the brim on this LP. Piano riffs, swelling horn arrangements, and funky bass lines are ahead on this LP from Indie Music’s best kept secret. We can’t wait for you to spin this LP, and maybe you'll get Matt Duncan to write your song next.
