I live in Northampton, Massachusetts USA and write melancholy indie-folk songs on an old piano and some old keyboards. I spend a lot of time on the living room piano and in my basement laundry room filled with old keyboards.

I’ve made a number of records over the years with a rotating cast of friends and fellow musicians (Matthew Larsen and The Documents). You can find those records on the internet easily at any of the usual streaming services. We’ve tracked a new record in 2026 and are adding some finishing touches. Hoping to release it in the fall. 

I made some records a long time ago with a few of my former bands too (Smokejumpers, Northernly). Those are somewhere in a box in the depths of the basement, whatever is left of MySpace, or probably on Bandcamp and Soundcloud if you look around.

See you soon,

Matthew

Sometimes short, quiet and sweet– other times building into wall-of-sound anthems, Matthew Larsen and The Documents’ introspective indie-folk piano songs often recall loss, relationships, and serious health issues (Matthew’s own experience with cancer and mortality). His songs are lovingly written and recorded in studios, hallways, and living rooms in Western Massachusetts, New York, and Los Angeles.
