Matty And Mandaworld - Warm You / Spoonfeed

There is something magical about the synergy of thevoices of a couple; they gel, they interweave, theylift each other. Remember classic duets sung bypartners over the years; so much is said, more thanjust words.

'Warm You' is the collaboration between Mandaworld(aka Amanda Hicks) and partner Matthew Tavares (akaMatty of BADBADNOTGOOD fame). It is a song�about yourlover getting out of bed in the middle of the nightbecause they can't sleep and you telling them to comeback to where it's warm and safe and they're loved.�It was written in their Montreal apartment a fewmonths after they moved in. Matty described thewriting process�We just spontaneously decided tomake music, and the idea came out pretty muchimmediately. I�laid�down some guitar and then Amandaplayed the synth line over it and I edited the guitarso the timing was more interesting. We worked on itfor a few days getting the chorus and the verses tofeel right and, for the most part, everything fellinto place super intuitively. Amanda wrote thelyrics.

This heartfelt, dream-pop song, with a mellow shoe-gaze sensibility, lets the pair trade verses whilstthe instrumentation builds to a crescendo and theduo's voices finally combine. Lush, passionate andpersonal, a beautiful song, rich in evocativememories.

On the 'B-side', Mandaworld takes centrestage.�'Spoonfeed'�is a spacey synth bass-led ambientballad with smokey hazy vocals, calming like a bubblebath. Produced with a timeless quality, the songleaves you with a sense of tranquility and a feelingof being submerged underwater.

Like all the best music this 7 is deeply personal,yet these are universal themes that are relatable toany listener as they recognise their own experienceswithin the mood of the songs.
