SIEBEN The Line And The Hook LABEL - Red Room FORMAT - CD GENRE - (FOLK/WAVE) Gods look down, to human world, distracted and enraptured by the music which Matt Howden expresses in this album; inside of it, the origins of the Time come to quench his thirst.

Poly-instrumentalist Matt plays a good part of the instruments and uses his voice, together to his sister's voice -Jane – and many valid musicians. The shining strings of his violin transport on their wave the deepest wounds of History, the most exciting humour and lost verities. Wide foreshortenings of thrilling percussive incursions are plaited by Jane and Sarah's ethereal voices, while Matt's voice collocated orderly headlights along the cold northern fiords.
