Matthew Squires hails from Austin, Texas and the album How To Combust Your Life is the result of two and a half years work, which he describes as “sort of the culmination of my life falling apart and being put back together after a stint at a Zen monastery in New York.”

It is a sweet blend of acoustic folk and pop shot through with a wee hint of psych – have a listen to/download The Arcade.
