Ware River Club: Cathedral (CD)

Cathedral is a record of haggard beauty featuring twelve stunning tracks chronicling the human condition with a keen eye for detail, and a master storyteller's precision.

It is the story behind highly prolific front-man, Matt Herbert, the undeniable voice, rhythm and pulse of the band. Herbert is known to write one new song per day, while receiving critical accolades. Like all the greats, Hebert seems to have mastered the art of nuance. (The Charlotte Observer) Atlanta's Creative Loafing praises Hebert's songs as the aural equivalent of Raymond Carver. This isn't too far off. The title of Cathedral is directly borrowed from a collection of Raymond Carver short stories, which Hebert cites as a huge lyrical influence.
