Recent Press:
"An effortless display of cleverly arranged and resourceful playing....(an) acoustic masterclass" Classic Rock Presents Prog (live review June 2011)
"A one man guitar orchestra" Acoustic Magazine UK
"Ghost is a phenomenal piece of work that has already garnered countless frothing plaudits within the online prog and post-rock firmament. Wholly instrumental and insanely inventive.. an internet phenomena in the making. "Classic Rock Presents Prog
"(A)quirky, inventive, mostly upbeat, and entirely delightful instrumental album...While the music occupies its own creative zone, I found myself free associating names such as Brian Eno, John Martyn, Tom Verlaine, Anthony Phillips, Yo La Tengo, Steve Tibbetts, and even Radiohead while listening" Guitar Player Magazine US
"a poster child for the digital revolution that has taken over his country and much of the world in the past 10 years....Stevens' passion for music creates a poignant and moving expression in every composition that he delivers" Alarm press magazine
"A seriously amazing album, this will f**king move you, seriously SERIOUSLY brilliant! Go and listen to it, I WILL be checking!"Nick Tann Is This Thing On Podcast
"(Instrumental rock) music brought forward some 50 years thru the filter of metal & punk & electronica (not to mention bebop & baroque).The music itself—is genre defying: one hears rock (in several of its incarnations) & jazz & funk & classical & Latin. Stevens, whose guitar artistry is matched by his compositional skills, welds these disparate elements into a coherent whole."Robertfrostsbanjo
"Very cool. Like Tom Verlaine and Robert Fripp got together for a jam" Telegenisis
"a poster child for the digital revolution that has taken over his country and much of the world in the past 10 years....Stevens' passion for music creates a poignant and moving expression in every composition that he delivers" Alarm press magazine
"It's abundantly apparent that Stevens has a special command over the guitar but he favours enticing, carefully crafted tracks over self-indulgent embellishment. The result is an album baring that all-encompassing, cinematic sound which draws you in without the need to utter a word." I Caught You a Delicious Bass
"a multi-layered, dreamlike sound that's reminiscent of Radiohead and Sigur Ros" PH Balanced
"This is another amazing piece of work! I truly, truly love it, Matt plays with rhythm and melody as only someone who's mastered them and knows the rules can break those rules at will. Personally, I LOVE this kind of stuff!"Six String Bliss Podcast
"This is a unique album coming from a unique musician and one i would seriously implore anyone to experience it."Music Mafia UK
"Matt Stevens an all-too-rare surprise in the crowded but heartfelt DIY field of musicians...Ghostis, fittingly, a haunting and dreamlike piece of work. The exploration of sound and melody that takes place on this record is absorbing"I Hear Sparks
"Standout tracks are "Into the Sea", "Eleven" "8:19" and "Ghost", though this is merely a matter of preference as all that you encounter here is brimming with melody and invention. Truly enjoyable in every aspect " Finnbros
"Stevens has made a record that is as approachable, inviting and warm every bit as much as The Fierce & the Dead are powerful, intelligent and … commanding … ."Mr Atavist
"Ghost is a far more mature, multi-faceted release, which sees him finding his true artistic and creative voice, integrating influences more fluidly and satisfactorily and if he maintains this creative purple patch, provides a platform for even greater achievements to come. "Stumpy Bunker
"inventive acoustic guitar with latino-jazz rhythms and melodies that push the compositional envelope. If you like acoustic-based jazz fusion, Frippertronics or Gypsy guitar, you'll loveGhost!" USA Prog Music
