What others have to say…

Vocally adopting Owl City’s hyper-popular emotitronica inflection (It’s Simple, Child) and musically lifting generic hand-clap, acoustic-strum indie-folk, The Home We Built sounds great – safe, sentimental, popular. www.rollingstone.co.za

What we have to say…

We believe… we believe Matthew Mole has crafted an incredibly beautiful ode to life, religion, loved ones… we believe SAMA 2014 should sit up and take notice… we believe Just Music has ensured another great new artist’s voice is heard and appreciated… Hearing is believing.

It makes us wanna… Hang wind chimes… make contact with friends we’ve lost touch with… get in the car and drive to a secluded beach somewhere without packing anything.

In his own words…

"It was such an amazing thing to see the album at No.1 on the morning of its release. All thanks to the overwhelming support received from everyone! It’s great to know that people are loving the album.”
