Matt McGuire engages in the creative process of making music within the confines of his room. Utilizing his phone, he records his compositions, showcasing his musical abilities without having received any formal training. McGuire’s artistic style draws inspiration from the rock and grunge genres of the ‘90s. Additionally McGuire mentions the primary motivation lies not in seeking fame but in finding satisfaction through the prospect of others appreciating and listening to their lyrical expressions.
"Here We Go Again" is a raw composition that showcases a minimalistic approach, centering around the resonance of strummed minor and major chords entwined with heartfelt vocals. McGuire's rendition evokes a genuine sense of anguish, as if it emanates from the depths of personal experience. While unaware of the specifics of McGuire's life, there is an unmistakable sense that he has weathered numerous trials and tribulations. The creation of a song like "Here We Go Again" necessitates traversing the peaks and valleys of life, as it becomes a vessel for channeling profound emotions and personal struggles. "No Attention to Pay" is a piece that showcases intriguing guitar work, with the artist seemingly engaging in a simultaneous blend of picking and strumming techniques. The guitar's melodic interplay is undeniably captivating which when combined with the vocals is very immersive. In the absence of vocals, the listener encounters a soul-stirring experience through "Harmonica Instrumental 7." This instrumental piece is able to convey emotions solely through the artistry of the instruments. The combination of harmonica and guitar while stripped back provides memorable melodic patterns. One of the other songs I enjoyed was “Rain Cloud.” The song aligns with the melancholy he weaves throughout all these songs. McGuire is an artist that conveys emotion. It's not the most technical music I’ve heard but he makes up for it with the raw delivery.
