about

Land of Wood and Water announces the return of sonic scientist Pie Eye Collective.

“I’d like to think this music sounds Jamaican but from a very slightly different time-line.”

‘Land of Wood and Water’ is the definition of the Taíno word ‘Xaymaca’, which is the indigenous name of the island of Jamaica. The song is in part an acknowledgement of one facet of Matthew Gordon aka Pie Eye Collective’s being, alongside Hebrew, Irish, Scottish and British. Many cultures are always at play in the sonic palettes he creates with his unique electronic sound, where influences pass through, sometimes coming into focus only for an instant.

With his debut album, Salvation, in 2021, Matthew Gordon gained emphatic support from Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova and Tom Ravenscroft at BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio 1Xtra. His one-man live show saw him experimenting in venues around London and supporting UK jazz luminaries including Emma-Jean Thackray, Ben Marc and Richard Spaven.

Love for Salvation:

“It defies obvious categorization and dips a toe into light technoid experimentalism too” The Arts Desk

“A woozy ambience, all its own” Gigwise

“A fantastically trippy, intricate, very personal vision of future beats” Backseat Mafia

“A cosmic journey that explores exuberant and moody textures while incorporating elements of electronica, dub and hip-hop. He's an emerging talent to keep an eye on.” Basic Soul

“Salvation isn’t heavy-handed, but does immersive metaphysical work through its heavy polyrhythms and intricate harmonies.” Christine Hannigan

While at its heart electronica, Pie Eye Collective creates an organic collage of influences and evocative noises, drawing equally from jazz and soul music. Time signatures, sometimes hard to pin down, only lead to a more hypnotic sense of being afloat in a sea of harmonics and strangely familiar musical memories
