Scorched Earth is the new album from Matt Owens, with the ex-Noah and the Whale man at the top of his game.
Featuring the singles Cargo for the Road, MacCurtain Street, Heal Up Alright and Another Song About the Devil (featuring Elles Bailey,) the record follows on from his critically acclaimed 2019 Nigel Stonier-produced album Whiskey and Orchids.
Recorded at Manchester’s Airtight Studios and Mizpah Studio in Bath, Scorched Earth sees Owens pushing in new directions, both lyrically and sonically, as he takes the production reins on his latest release.
The album features old musical compatriots Jimmy Besley, Laurie Carter, Olly Cox, and Robert Vincent along with star-turns from Camilla Sky on vocals and Danny Williams on Double Bass.
The result is an album more aurally dynamic than its acoustic-and-piano-led predecessor, and whilst his signature Neil Young-esque harmonica is still ever present and a 60’s Gretsch electric often favoured to his beloved Gibson Acoustic, Scorched Earth sees Owens' songwriting sit front and centre, and a force to reckoned with in 2020.

lyrics
Strip it Back
Now Orpheus the bard found God in his yard, With 6 cold beers and a King Curtis EP ¶ Well the
kid’s signing on, and I thought while he’s gone, could you teach me to play like Cornell Dupree? ¶
Strip It Back, Strip it Back, ya need less than you think you do ¶ Strip it Back, Strip it Back, you’ve
enough to get through,
We’ve been looking for you Lord, John Prine’s come on board, he wants to shake your hand, just watch
those feet in the doorway ¶ “Well You can’t kill me twice,” “now Warren play nice,” ‘Ignore Zevon
Lord, he’s not great in the morning”
Strip It Back, Strip it Back, ya need less than you think you do ¶ Strip it Back, Strip it Back, you’ve
enough to get through,
I can’t do right by the kid, He still sore what I did, Since he left them down there, they’re just fooling around
¶ You’ve done ya best, said the bard, And single parentings hard man, ¶ Let’s burn one
down and catch Robin Wright through the clouds
Strip It Back, Strip it Back, ya need less than you think you do ¶ Strip it Back, Strip it Back, you’ve
enough to get through
