Matt Costa - Unfamiliar Faces Album

In Matt Costa’s third offering, the Unfamiliar Faces album the folksy pop rocker definitely establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with on the sonic landscape. Matt, who has built his name by perpetually appearing a rock festivals throughout the United States, sings of love and life, all set to folk tunes that at times veer toward alternative rock. Listening to "Lilacs" and "Vienna,” the two best tracks on the record, you get the impression that Matt continues to have a soft spot for 1960s tinged folk-pop with a 'feel good' factor. They are light, cheerful and inoffensive, and absolutely perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s amazing to me that more people haven’t heard of this artist, but hopefully with this album, that will change.
