Matthew and the Atlas

A British folk-rock group whose music walks a line between acoustic traditionalism and a contemporary embrace of electronics, Matthew and the Atlas were founded by singer and songwriter Matt Hegarty. Possessing a rich voice and a soulful lyrical viewpoint, Hegarty and his group enjoyed breakthrough success with 2014's Other Rivers, a thoughtful and impassioned blend of organic and electronic flavors that earned the endorsement of Mumford & Sons. 2016's similarly crafted Temple included the international hit "Elijah," and Hegarty took a more D.I.Y. approach to recording on 2023's This Place We Live and 2024's Many Times.
