New single “Viral” out now
Matthew’s first new single in nearly four years was released on Thursday March 24.
“Viral” is about the accelerated world we live in. A world in which technology grapples with nature and ingenuity spawns unintended consequences. It is a call for humility - a reminder that we don’t know everything, and as we edge closer to the gods we must not lose touch with our common humanity.
Giving a nod to vintage soul and singing live to tape with the band, Barber says what he has to say in two and a half minutes with minimal adornment. The tasteful accompaniment is provided by Jeff Halischuck (drums), Ian McKeown (bass) and Steve O’Connor (keys), with James McKenty capturing the sounds at his studio in Peterborough, Ontario.
