Matthew Birch (Our Violet Room) is back to captivate our hearts with a new EP titled, “Ode To Tim And Danny,” and we are super excited to review it and share it with the world. The 3-track project is a great experience from start to finish and falls nothing short of perfection, seriously.
We listened to this EP several times, and we still can’t find the right words to describe it. With this project, Matthew brings a distinctive sound, using emotional and honest lyrics and hauntingly beautiful melodies. We always get stuck on Matthew’s vocals, he has one of the richest voices you could ever hear and his performance is always captivating and memorable. The production of these tracks is simple, creative and the recording quality is interesting. The instrumentals grabbed our attention and made us rewind the songs over and over again. We love Our Violet Room’s writing style no matter the genre and we can honestly say that very few artists have the talent to write and perform as well as Matthew does. He has a sound that will fill your soul and leave you stuck on constant repeat for a long time.
In summary, I think it’s safe to say Matthew Birch is setting himself up for something truly amazing. Go ahead and check out the EP for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to follow Our Violet Room online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
A deep love of movie scores and the composers that made them alongside an admiration and passion for folk music is the base of the music that Birch creates under the moniker Our Violet Room. An “indie singer-songwriter with a cinematic twist”, Birch got his musical start in 2018 by playing SoFar Sound shows – first in Denver but soon all over the world. A humble story of overcoming depression, working hard, and diving headfirst into his dream, Birch only has one goal…. to make thoughtful, well-made, emotional art that inspires his listeners and causes them to feel. His music has been compared to the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, and Coldplay for its lush atmosphere, emotional lyrics, and cinematic arrangements and has quickly launched his music career with two songs featured on FreeForm’s Good Trouble series and two songs featured in a Magnolia feature film. “Making movie scores has been a dream of mine and to look at each song as a little movie score has been a great way of creating,” says Birch. Thus far in his career, Birch has released two EPs – Our Violet Room and the live EP Loss and Death in Winter – alongside a handful of singles. Mixing folk and cinematic soundscapes seem to be working for the emerging artist as his songs have a combined 500,000 streams. “ I don’t go for cool or hip, I go for what moves me.”
