People have said some nice things about the new album (and some nasty things too of course) See! Look! Read!
“….brooding Brit Matt Hales (a.k.a. Aqualung) sounds newly energized on tracks like Fingertip.” 3 out of 4 Stars
People
“His latest album, Magnetic North evinces that new sound; jaunty, upbeat, uplifting and plenty of 'doo doo doos'.
Los Angeles Times
“…this is a show you will not want to miss. An effortlessly intimate set of subtly crafted, organically melodic tunes with openhearted lyrics and spare, mostly acoustic arrangements, Words and Music features some of Hales’ most compelling work to date.”
Boston Globe
“…the album is still predominantly gentle, a little strange, and quite beautiful.….it’s one of the most perfect examples of hopeful longing I’ve heard in music this year.” “….a joyous ode to the pursuit of love.”
Popmatters
“Matt Hales proves to be not just a prolific singer-songwriter from England that makes beautiful meaningful music, but one who knows how to keep the listeners singing along. Hales still nails it with his lusty vocals and the orchestra-esque arrangement.”
Filter
“Expect him to be around for a good long time — a thoughtful, careful composer, musician who is serious about creating music, not just cranking out the albums for the money.”
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“The album is joyful, thought-provoking and something you’ll want to listen to again and again. Magnetic North is like a brilliant 12-part love song to life.”

It's going to be odd and wonderful to come back to our fine Island. is it still like it was? Based on the World Cup I'd guess so.

See you soon,
That
Matt
