I’d like to use the medium of the internet to introduce to you a new artist named Matthew P, recently signed to Fiction and set to release his debut single Gilly on 26 July.

Here’s Matthew.

Just kidding. THIS is Matthew.

OK, OK, so that’s not Matthew. But this definitely is. See, he’s got the guitar and everything.

SOZ. This is Matthew, honest. You can verify by checking out his new video below.

Emerging blinking into the daylight from his Suffolk beachside hut-cum-studio, Matthew P arrived at Fiction earlier this year with a batch of songs informed by years spent walking the coastline and a life so-far lived off the beaten path.

The first taste is the rough-hewn, sometimes melancholic, summer pop song Gilly, whose infectious chorus and “hey-hey-hey” harmonies bring the sun out from behind any lingering clouds. It will feature on his debut album, due for release later in 2010.
