Matthew Liam Nicholson is visionary, singular recording artist, originally  from Melbourne Australia, now based between the two great cities of California.

​​

Dedicating his life to the cultural power of music from an early age leading guitar bands, Nicholson has spent three decades since developing and refining his unique, ecstatic and often breathtaking musical language, with a plethora of collaborators all over the world.

​

His unusual work is grounded in a mysticism both gritty and ecstatic - his highly diverse compositions woven together by a "clear, authorial voice" (Wire).

 

His music "stretches the ethereality of dream-pop into blissout" (Pitchfork, 8.2) and has been described as "reverent, expansive, magical realist folk music” (Uncut).

​

His original compositions are featured internationally in film, TV & the arts - and sprawling albums revered by diverse music lovers of planet earth.

 

Multiple new albums, collaborative works, scores, soundtracks, string quartets, ambient works & sounds baths are in preparation.
