Australian Folk/Rock Singer Songwriter Matt Boylan-Smith breaks through with new single "Sixteen Miles High".

Australian Folk/Rock Singer Songwriter Matt Boylan-Smith continues to break through with new single "Sixteen Miles High" and is following up with new tracks “Somewhere in Soho” and “Lover, Meet my Eyes” in preparation for his East Coast Tour with his band.

The New South Wales based musician has had a productive lockdown working on his upcoming album, called Somewhere in Soho. Matt spent much of the past few years touring through Europe and he has gathered up his thoughts and experiences to put them into words and music.

Sixteen miles High was released late last year to terrestrial radio and all streaming formats accompanied by a remarkable video produced by Matt and Ribbon Gang Media. The song captures the essence of despair felt by those held captive by addiction and is a mournful expression of the emotions that surround it.

“I remember talking to a good friend once who said that his depression felt a big black nothingness in front of him. I was speaking to another dear friend that was suffering with addiction and I detected a whole lot of guilt when he told me. I sat down and wrote the song in pretty short time, with the main message in my head being that this truly wasn’t his fault.”

The full album release is being prepared for subsequent single releases in the coming months and a full album release in the new year, with Matt set to announce venues and dates for his tour with his full band.

“Boylan-Smith sings every song as though it is his last - full of feeling and with full commitment” - Von Haus Clock, Brake, Germany.

“Matt Boylan-Smith tore up the stage with a spectacular performance at Vanfest” - The Western Advocate
