Fans of power pop-infused indie rock will find the best hallmarks of the form lovingly referenced in Pretty Matty’s infectious songwriting. Opting for a stripped back, hook-laden approach a la Teenage Fanclub, the band demonstrates a timeless appeal through their “less is more” philosophy. With song lengths often clocking in at less than 2 minutes, the band’s succinct guitar pop hits you hard and leaves you wanting more.
The effectiveness of Pretty Matty’s no-nonsense approach is no fluke. Instead, it’s the result of primary songwriter Matty Morand’s impressive musical bona fides. Morand has contributed his talents to various bands over the years, including Pony and the prolific powerhouse collective that is Self Defense Family. With years of collective experience under their belt, Pretty Matty’s mastery of punchy, anthemic tunes is unsurprising.
Pretty Matty's new album Heavenly Sweetheart (out 6/14) follows up their exceptional self-titled 2019 debut full length on Get Better Records. More recently, they released a split 7” with the band Sad Baxter via Head 2 Wall Records. The band has done considerable touring, sharing stages with Young Guv, Drug Church, and other heavy-hitters. All the strongest aspects of the band’s recorded material take center stage during their live performances, giving Morand’s concise, intentional songwriting a well-deserved spotlight.
