Mat McHugh solo adventure . Take two! Its been a stunted start for Mat McHughs solo mission thanks to an untimely motor bike accident that left him bed ridden in the USA for a month. The injuries have healed, the tour has been rescheduled and Mat is ready to bring his solo project out into the live forum and so he announces his Seperatista! Australian Album Tour.Which brings us to SEPERATISTA!, a free-floating animal of rare sensitivity and grace, recorded with a band largely seconded from the Sydney jazz scene. Off-kilter drums, deep bass, horns, piano, organ, melodica and cello flesh out Mat's voice, acoustic guitar and occasional ukulele on an album rich in precious sonic details. Hence the surprising electricity of last year's ZIGGURATS album, a disc that challenged old The Beautiful Girls fans while captivating a whole bunch of new ones. Those old fans are likely to do backflips over the melodious syncopated acoustic grooves of the solo album.
