Matt Hitt
\nYou\u2019ll Be Lucky
\n<\/i>(Killphonic Records)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Welsh-born, New York-based musician and songwriter Matt Hitt has been playing with indie band Drowners since 2011 but has now stepped into the realm of solo artist. After two albums with Drowners and spending time as touring guitarist for The Vaccines, Hitt has released his debut solo EP, You\u2019ll Be Lucky<\/i>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Be Lucky<\/i>\u2019s five tracks carry a theme of Hitt\u2019s experience with the joys and heartaches of getting older while living in New York. Listening to this album, you can tell that the music is made by someone who has a lot of experience and talent making music and performing. Each song is distinct while still being in Hitt\u2019s style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can feel the sadness within each track, but it\u2019s uplifting at the same time. The overall feeling is very nostalgic.<\/p>\n

The songs flow together nicely, starting with a joyous feeling, the middle being more melancholic, and ending with hope.<\/p>\n

You can also hear Hitt\u2019s roots\u2014for example, British punk like The Clash\u2014in the EP. I found that the songs were easy to sing along to, but the lyrics were a little repetitive at times.<\/p>\n

I also got a groove while listening, but with the release being so short I had to stop dancing to restart the music often.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My two favourite songs are \u201cCarried Away\u201d and \u201cAm I Supposed to Forget About You.\u201d When this is released I\u2019ll be definitely be adding these songs to my playlist. The other three songs are still good and are worth a listen.<\/p>\n

I would definitely go see Hitt if he plays in Victoria or even Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Despite a few lyrics being repetitive and there only being five tracks, I highly recommend giving You\u2019ll Be Lucky<\/i> a listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
