Matthew Young: Lost and Found

In the early eighties, a hermetic musician by the name of Matthew Young released Recurring Dream — an entirely electronic, Eno-inspired album of instrumentals. Five years later, in 1986, Traveler’s Advisory was released into relative obscurity and went under the radar until this past September, when it resurfaced on California imprint Yoga Records.

Comprised mostly of folk-influenced numbers, it’s the song Dummy Line which stands out as a would-be new wave hit, albeit drenched in the ethereal sounds of a hammered dulcimer. You can buy the album here.
