New album onion follows 2022’s MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE…, which charted at number 2 (Murray Matravers’ second consecutive album to do so) and reached stages ranging from London’s Alexandra Palace to Glastonbury’s Pyramid. Accompanied by a raw but refined cinematic aesthetic, onion is as much a welcome return, then, as an exhilarating fresh start: the kind only possible, perhaps, when your life blows up. Having spent his young career matching unsteady circumstances with unvarnished positivity, amidst breakups and breakthroughs - and for legal reasons, all things easy and hard - life seemingly has a way of disrupting Murray Matravers’ best laid plans. Here is British pop’s underdog, with added bite.
