These are some random demos and other very rough home recordings I dug up from the early-mid 00's. 

This is mostly embarrassing garbage, but the nostalgia I'm able to glean from listening to these recordings is fairly valuable to me. I'm mostly uploading these tracks as a means of preservation, as I've lost a lot of these sort of files to time. These are the ones I have somehow been able to keep track of over the years. Listen and laugh with me! 

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding. Connor, who also writes film scores, has proven himself adept at crafting intricately wrought mood music that grabs the most painful parts of his listeners’ souls, then soothes those wounds with his knowing lyrics and evocative voice. —Maura Johnston
