Mirror Shoes is the first single to be released from Matt Edible & the Obtuse Angels’ new album and its a glam rock stomper about the eponymous footwear.

Imagine Ty Segall and Warren Ellis channeling T. Rex an Queen.

Matt Edible has been a jewel in the (admittedly fairly republican) crown of Hull’s music scene for many years.  From fronting cult avant-pop heroes Edible 5ft Smiths to leading Tom Robinson (6music) favourites The Holy Orders, he has consistently produced memorable and captivating music.

Following Matt Edible & the Obtuse Angels’ debut album, Stargazing, Matt locked himself down (quite literally thanks to Covid) and went to work forging an even more ambitious collection of songs for the follow-up.  He began to record by himself at home and then recruited new band members John Andrew (Kingmaker) and Sarah Shiels to make the project glow.

MATT EDIBLE & THE OBTUSE ANGELS - Matt-O-Matic (from the "I Hate Fonda 500" remix/reimagining album)

Matt Edible has been a jewel in the crown of Hull’s music scene for many years.  From fronting cult avant-pop heroes Edible 5ft Smiths to the leading Tom Robinson (6music) favourites The Holy Orders, he has consistently produced memorable and captivating music. 
Matt Edible & The Obtuse Angels feels like where all of this has been leading. 
The debut album Stairgazing (2018) featured the lush production and multi-instrumentation of Joe Bennett (Goldrush/St. Etienne), the drumming skills of Mike Monaghan (Gaz Coombes/Willie J Healey) and contained a wide variety of material ranging from the sublime, swooping, sweary love song Astronauts to the anthemic indie earworm Nightclubbing.  It also showcased a love of a wide range of styles from Post-rock to Americana leading the American alt-legend Josh T. Pearson to proclaim “The best thing out of Hull since the Humber Bridge!”

When Covid hit, Matt locked down at home to record the follow-up album.  Alongside new additions John Andrew (Kingmaker) -drums, and Sarah Shiels -bass, Matt has produced a thrilling new collection of material ranging from existential soulful ballad Triage to alt-big band epic The Big Reveal.
