Matthew And The Atlas is the project of British musician Matt Hegarty. Combining elements of folk, rock, and Americana, Matthew And The Atlas has a sound characterized by haunting melodies, introspective lyrics, and a voice that conveys a heartfelt yearning. The project began to emerge in the late 2000s, initially gaining recognition for a deeply emotive acoustic style and has since evolved, incorporating a fuller band sound and diverse instrumentation.

Over the years, Matthew And The Atlas has released a number of EPs and albums that have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. With recent tracks like "This Place We Live" and "Record Store," the project continues to explore personal themes against the backdrop of melancholic and atmospheric music. In addition to studio releases, Matthew And The Atlas has demonstrated an ability to create intimate renditions of their music through releases like the Mahogany Sessions, stripping back songs to their raw emotional core, as heard in tracks like "Because the Night" and "Palace." The act's unique blend of indie-folk nuances has been consistently praised, and Matthew And The Atlas remains a poignant voice in the indie music scene.
