Matt Gouette is a pop virtuoso, trickster musician, and multi-instrumentalist who quite simply crafts some of the finest tracks you are likely to hear. He is comfortable in all genres it seems and his listeners are rewarded with subtle songwriting full of hooks and harmonies that linger. His work suggests equal parts Elliott Smith, Brian Wilson, and Robert Smith.
"Gouette's recently released a CD via the Cosmodemomic Telegraph imprint, Living with the Ghost. The disc could all go by in a flash, with its effortless hooks and entirely accessible melodicism, but it shouldn't—Gouette is a gifted craftsman, and his entirely self-recorded (even with its frequent full-band instrumentation) CD rises and falls with the expert dynamism of someone who knows how to craft both a song and a song arc. Gouette can be as straightforward as the best of 'em, but in his quirks he really shines—the off-kilter song structures and surprising builds create tension and display great imagination and confidence, the many moments of strange beauty where he goes for the haunting, weird pop-gut of it all, the recognizable yet new sensibility that lifts him above the sum of his classic pop influences." - Brian LaRue, New Haven Advocate "Living With The Ghost" album review
