Indie-folk artist Matz Patrick has released his evocative new single ‘augustine’ after a sold-out headline show in Shoreditch, London, where he now resides. Delicate piano, shimmering synths, pedal steel, and banjo are woven into a rich, atmospheric soundscape, capturing the lingering presence of a love that refuses to fade.
Matz says, “‘augustine’ is about that strange place after a breakup where someone’s gone but their presence is louder than ever. It’s in the kitchen, in the sheets, in a football shirt across the room. I wanted it to feel less like a haunting and more like a warmth that won’t leave. I called it ‘augustine’ because it’s my favourite name. There’s something nostalgic about it, like a fading book you’d find on a shelf.”
Starting life in North Carolina, Matz Patrick’s indie-folk and Americana sound has garnered support on both sides of the pond. Amazing Radio UK and US have shared his work, as well as BBC Introducing and Spotify via their algorithmic playlists. ‘augustine’ is a compelling step forward, showcasing Matz’s emotional depth and quiet confidence.
