Soothingly mellow into fiercely soulful and bold – Americana’s Mat D crafts a blues-rock classic, with the ballad-kissed power and presence of an enthralling, unignorable The Company I Keep.
Featuring the simple warmth of a live-sounding guitar, bass and drums arrangement, the composition, writing and performance have all been faultlessly captured, promising a release that quickly urges fans to crank up the volume – to escape entirely into the raw emotion and fearless vulnerability of the song’s core.
Ever since January’s release of Devil You Know, the Mat D sound has been one sure to draw interest whenever anything new should emerge – thanks to that clear authenticity interwoven amidst the organic and passionate. In many ways, The Company I Keep furthers that already noteworthy embrace, particularly given the sheer contrast between these mellow, sultry verses and the outright emotional roar of the chorus.
Simple yet striking, familiar yet ultimately outstanding – The Company I Keep has the makings of a timeless hit, but with a genuinely heartfelt sense of pain and longing. It effectively becomes an alternative indie force on its own unique trajectory. That balance is rare, and something Mat D consistently brings to modern music – a fine meeting between skill, melodic appeal, and unrelenting human depth.
