// April 5th, 2008 // reviews

David Reed of the Belleville Intelligencer writes today in the CD review section:

“Emerging from the Montreal’s acclaimed band Me Mom and Morgentaler, Matt Lipscombe is a singer-songwriter that draws comparisons to Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Paul Simon and even John Lennon.

His debut record Folk Tales was released to rave reviews in Montreal and is now being distributed across Canada. The production is clean and raw, with many tracks recorded in Lipscombe’s old loft, on his back porch and at his new home. Instrumentation is sparse with just guitar, bass and drums (with the exception of cello on one track and Tibetan bells on another).

Highlights include “Strange Music,” “Faith,” “Make More Money,” “I Am Flying” and “Sugar.”
