‘My Burrow’ delivers a symphony of percussive beats and swirling melodic atmospheres, infused with subtle electronic experimentations. Euphoric yet menacing in parts, it’s a record that sonically captures the desire and frustration of following your dreams. 

Matt said “This song is about wanting it all without putting any of the work in. Waiting around for something to happen to us. Waiting to become something. Waiting for success, for happiness. Waiting for our big break. Always wanting and waiting, but never searching and acting. Expectations that do not match reality is the ordre du jour here. 

It’s also about becoming aware of time and how wasteful we are with it, poking fun at the regret and shame we might feel for wasting it (because these are truly useless feelings), accepting that which is lost, and looking toward that which still might be found.  At the end of it, life is but a collection of stacked moments. When we forget this, it becomes easy to dismiss moments as unimportant or so infinite that misspending them is no big deal. I guess the song is a reminder (to myself, mostly) that the dwelling in our minds depends on caring deeply, and tending carefully to all the moments we get to have.”

Matt Holubowski has come a long way since his career began in 2014 with the release of Old Man; a collection of folk songs inspired by his many trips and experiences around the world. The watershed, however, came two years later following the release of his sophomore album ‘Solitudes’ Produced by Montreal-based music producer Connor Seidel. The record sold over 45 000 albums and garnered 17M streams, a Gold Record as well as two nominations at the ADISQ Gala, for Album of the year and Concert of the year. In 2018 the artist toured Canada, the United States and Europe, sold over 15 000 tickets and was invited by The Cure’s frontman Robert Smith to perform at London’s Meltdown Festival. The global pandemic forced the artist to cut short his 2020 tour to support his previous album ‘Weird Ones’. The artist, will now return to the stages in 2023 to deliver an electrifying, immersive series of live dates across Canada, France and the UK to support the release of ‘Like Flowers on a Molten Lawn’.

Praise for Matt Holubowski

Montreal singer-songwriter Matt Holubowski produces an ensnaring number that will stay with listeners long after it’s over. – Pop Matters

He merges distant, almost eerie soundscapes with folky, indie songwriting like it’s no trouble at all – The Most Radicalist 

It quickly goes from reflective, to bigger than oneself – mesmerizing and wonderful, far too intense to bare, to loss of control, and then a blissful calm settles in. – When The horn Blows  

Like a warm summer rain, the melodies are purifying. The cleansing of his serene voice and remarkable lyrics manage to fulfill the folk album goals I have needed since 2019 – Streaming Dept
