"After the Fall, in parenthesis. as in (After the Fall). Part of the fun in listening to new music is having the opportunity to shake your head at it, in that you cant believe that it is happening that way, and its kicking you in the stomach and feels so damn good.
soft, is probably how I can say it. and by soft I only mean the way glass can be soft. tireless. And Im not talking about smooth here, her voice isn’t smooth, its resourceful and finds past the note that her guitar only ebbs at, eludes to, and she gets that grainy velvet drag in her voice sometimes that is really, and I mean this, sickeningly beautiful."-Matthew Woodward, poet.
***********
"Steph Davies newest effort, entitled ’after the fall’, is far and away her finest and most thoughtful to date. The standout track here is ’you were once a lonesome lullaby’...
Steph has a way of taking the most ordinary experiences in life, and turning them into wonderfully magical things... etched into a beautiful paradox of temporal permanence. It’s a quality not found in many writers, but is fast becoming evident in Mrs. Davies work, and is really quite remarkable...
To call this simply a collection of love songs would somehow cheapen the detailed arrangement of words within. This is a collection of life, those living in it, and the songs that go with that. These are songs to listen to on lonely nights in old cabins- a true representation of beauty in the living world."- Chris Darby, Them Damn Kids (www.myspace.com/themdamnkids)
STEPH & MATT DAVIES are two singer/songwriters that have a lot in common - not only have they both dedicated themselves to their performing & visual art talents, they are also dedicated to each other as husband and wife.
Having released several self-produced records while living in Chicago, Steph's latest entitled “After The Fall” is a reflection of finding love and finding home, something we all seek. You can check out her sound at www.myspace.com/versionsoftruth. Matt's newest release, Highway Specific, draws upon his roots in folk and blues. With the help of esteemed producer JonChristopherHughes and several talented musicians, Matthew has created an album that goes beyond himself, a notebook's worth of words and a guitar.
