Matthew Young

(Novato, Ca, United States)

Matthew Young may refer to one of several artists:1) Mixing a hammered dulcimer and a drum machine makes no logical sense. Taking your lyrics from instruction manuals is not a good idea. Covering Michael Hurley in '86 is about as out of step with the times as you can get. And yet... somehow this 25-year-old 12th-century/Folk/Electronic album feels perfectly up to date.2) Matt Young is the founder, member bassist and lead vocalist of British metal band HeKz.
