City councillor by day, songwriter by night Matt Luloff recently released a new four song EP which is available on a variety of streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music.
"Better Than This" includes two songs he wrote back in 2006, Hand Tied and Anything, and two new songs, Who I Used to Be and Better Than This, which he wrote this year.
Luloff is reluctant to disclose what the songs are about, he'd rather let the listener interpret the words on their own.
"Songs mean different things to different people," explains Luloff. "The people who listen to the songs can interpret the lyrics based on their own life experiences."
This is the fifth EP Luloff has recorded in the last 21 months along with two singles. He does all his recording and engineering in his home studio, usually after he's put his two daughters to bed. He also plays most of the instruments on the EPs with a handful of guest performances.
Anything and Better Than This are both bare bones ballads with Luloff's voice accompanied by his guitar.
Hands Tied featuring Luloff on piano is another haunting ballad, while Who I Used To Be is a full throttle banger that provides the perfect balance to the other three songs.
My own recommendation is to visit one of the aforementioned streaming sites and give the EP a listen for yourselves. If you're a fan of his music you won't be disappointed and if you've never heard his music before you will be pleasantly surprised.
