Albums are DIY-released and raw. \u201cThis Mucky Age\u201d (2011) &amp; \u201cGlow in the Dark\u201d (2012) \u2013 scored good reviews, followed by singles \u201cIn The Evil Empire\u201d &amp; \u201cLilith\u201d in 2014 and 2015. After a writing binge, the first of a batch of new material emerged as an EP \u2013 \u201cThreaten Me with Your Love\u201d \u2013 in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Around this time Matt put together a live band (featuring Mik Hanscomb of Junkboy), gigged across the UK and kept working on songs. In May 2018, driven by the short-fused spirit of the times, he released an EP of abrasive, noise-heavy protest songs, appropriately called \u201cUgly Scene\u201d. This is to be followed in October with the opposite half of the picture, a mellow slab of grandeur and weirdness called \u201cDisquiet\u201d.\u00a0 Again, the clue\u2019s in the title\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brighton Based Singer-Songwriter Announces \u201cDisquiet\u201d Brighton-based musician Matt Finucane is set to release his new&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[172],"class_list":["post-8045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","tag-matt-finucane"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8045"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8047,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8045\/revisions\/8047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
