...according to our Phil on 20 September 2007.

Matthew Sawyer and The Ghosts have a CD out on the fine Stolen Recordings label called 'Blue Birds Blood'. Apparently this dude played drums in the TV Personalities.... hey he has my vote already. This is some nice anti folk type gear along the lines of what Jeffrey Lewis was doing a few years back.... along with some Daniel Johnston isms (more of the latter in there). Whatever it sounds like it's cheeky and that's important. Contrary to popular beliefe we like it cheeky here.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The enigmatic Mathew Sawyer is a man with many facets. He is an internationally respected visual artist, he’s played drums for the influential post-punk band the Television Personalities, and he is the lead singer and songwriter with his own musical collective, Mathew Sawyer and the Ghosts. He’s recently played at Jarvis Cockers Meltdown, and ‘Heartbreaker’ is being played on 6music, Xfm and Radio 1 (Steve Lamacq). His work is also in this years Frieze, and the Sonia Rosso Gallery in Turin, Italy.The CD is limited to just 500 copies in customized sleeves.….a stunning depth and wistfulness. With Sawyer’s sauntering rasp as the charming cornerstone of Blue Birds Blood... the lo-fi pop paradise Sawyer offers will rank as a proper candidate for some of the sweetest tunes heard yet this year.
