Bryony Matthews Announces 'We're All The Same' Album Tour + Shares Title Track

Ōtautahi songwriter Bryony Matthews has spent the past few years crafting her new album We're All The Same with co-producers Ryan Fisherman, Josh Holmes and a small team of fellow travellers, finally launching into the world on 28th April. Marking nearly six years since the release of her 2017 long player Little Queen, which saw the birth of her daughter during that time, Matthews is celebrating the record's release with a seven date tour, taking the artist and full band all around the country in May. She's also just unveiled the luminously upbeat title track to the forthcoming record, which bundles together recent singles 'Thinking Of You', 'Here We Are', 'Yellow Flowers' and 'Who Am I Now' with five as yet unheard tunes.  Reflecting on "our dying world and the importance of focusing on our similarities rather than our differences," hit play on Matthews' heartfelt and soaring new song featuring Junus Orca on production duties, and don't miss her touring this autumn...

Press release:

‘We’re All The Same’ the new album by Bryony Matthews is at long last ready to share. The last three years she has been working towards the completion of this new compilation of new and older songs, bringing with it a different sound, compared to her first album ‘Little Queen’ which was released in 2017. Matthew’s has been busy writing, evolving and most importantly, mothering her young daughter which is one of the themes she touches on in her new work. The album name comes from one of the songs on the album, a poignant tune written about our dying world and the importance of focusing on our similarities rather than our differences.

Engineered by Ryan Fisherman (Amiria Grenell, Mousey, Holly Arrowsmith) and produced and mastered by Joshua Holmes (Junus Orca, Your Indigo, Jaz Paterson) who has taken Matthew's simplistic and poignant songwriting, turning it into a beautiful collision of subtle electronic sounds, layered electric guitars and ethereal vocals, creating an eclectic folk pop sound. Fisherman and Holmes also play on the album joined by Victoria Knopp (Imperial April, The Response) Amiria Grenell and Alice Tanner (Agnes Aleesy)

The official release show will be held at Space Academy in Christchurch with a full band, followed by a nationwide tour.
