My Take
Matthew Sweet is a craftsman I keep coming back to. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1964, he cut his teeth in the 1980s Athens, Georgia scene before breaking through as a power pop solo artist in the 1990s. What I value is his marriage of bright, hook-laden melodies with genuinely aching lyrics, a balance many imitate and few master. Reaching a fifteenth studio album says everything about his durability. He never chased trends; he just kept making the guitar pop he believes in. I have a soft spot for that stubborn, artisanal integrity, and I will happily follow wherever his songwriting goes.
