January 29, 2006 - TPYDKAT Review by Tracy M. Rogers of The Aurora Review

Alabama native Matt Morrow's sophomore effort, The Place You Don't Know Are There, is an exercise in minimalism, a collection of folk songs laced with anger, desperation, and loss. Lost love is the overriding theme of The Places You Don't Know Are There, with Morrow's rugged voice adding to the sense of dejection. He both wails and whispers — at times, his voice is so robust that his vocals seem capable of knocking down walls; at others, his voice is so slight that it might float away on a breeze. The opening track, "Don't Make a Sound," is an angry acoustic folk-rock song about depression and suicidal thoughts. "Don't Make a Sound" sets the tone for the entire album, leaving its fury and desolation to linger and infuse the rest of the songs. "Even the Moon" is an ethereal, whispery lullaby wherein the narrator proclaims "Nobody knows where I am...Even the moon is hiding from me," while "Burgundy and Black" is a quiet piano-based folk song with a haunting melody. Morrow's ire re-emerges in songs such as the lusty "Corona" and the addiction tale "The Rain Outside Her Apartment Building." There is no reprieve in Morrow's songs, no redemption — only pain and longing, heartbreak and loss.

November 13, 2005 - Coffeehousetour.com Review of TPYDKAT

On a chilly night, Matt's voice can warm over any room with his soft, brooding melodies. Gorgeous, expressive and fluid songs flow endlessly in Matt's sophomore release, The Places You Don't Know Are There. It's an exploration of love, heartache and a slow mental breakdown that brews hauntingly across the lyrics, it will turn you into an insomniac. I especially love the recording. It's extremely raw and edgy; you can feel every note as it strikes the chords with such intensity. The songs are so personal, you almost feel like you're eavesdropping on Matt's innermost thoughts. This guy is a musical Casanova, with husky vocals and breathtaking almost romantic songs in a heartbroken way...but that's a good thing. A simple, darker song, "Burgundy & Black," Matt is alone with his piano as he croons out lyrics such as, "The way she spun your world around, she takes you to the place where the flowers kiss her face." The piano plays at will, breaking every few notes for that pause that has you gasping for breath. His songwriting is incredible, the songs are elegant and the CD is something you must have in your collection for any mood.
Matt is my editor's pick for the month of October.
