Sky Mata is the moniker for a Japanese fellow named Matthew Haya (aka Mashu Haya), and, as you might guess, this is his solo thing for fun. His sound is very simple and stripped-down, almost like a minimal Marbles or Stuart Moxham, had he been part of the Elephant 6 collective. All his songs have a very intimate sound, as if he had recorded them in his apartment late at night, careful not to wake his neighbors with the drums (which are hit ever so lightly). The interplay between the nimble bass and melodic guitars is fantastic, reminding one of Pinback at times, and there are enough memorable tunes to keep you coming back for more listens.
