about

Selected Press for The Jessamine County Book of the Living

“Brilliant” - New York Magazine

“Matt Bauer conjures a warm yet slightly eerie mood with his banjo driven alt folk. The Greenpoint-via-Kentucky folkster has a gorgeous whispery way with a song.” - Time Out New York

“At the risk of preaching to the choir, I will state again that Matt Bauer’s newest, The Jessamine County Book Of The Living, is easily one of this year’s strongest releases.” -My Old Kentucky Blog

“A continuation of greatness which demonstrates Bauer’s firm grasp of the songwriting craft.” - Muzzle of Bees

“Moody folk that’s as much Appalachian as it is apparition. His last album was about the murder of a girl near his childhood home in 1968. His new full length, with Bauer’s pensive banjo and guest vocals from Jolie Holland and The Dirty Projectors’ Angel Deradoorian, is no less haunting.” - IFC
