PHONSECA 

“Phonseca is the Synthpop/Ambient/Electronica project from Bristol’s much respected keys/synth player, classically trained pianist Matthew O’Connor. 

Matthew has brought his talent to bands across the musical spectrum from House to Shoegaze, Psyche to Soundtrack, Electronica, Britpop and Rock. Both touring, and featuring on albums released on labels as diverse as Rocket Recordings, Invada Records, Dishy Recordings and Old Bad Habits. 

The urge to form a more personal musical landscape saw him starting to write his own music. This started the process which resulted in Between A Dream, the debut album.

It was championed in the UK on BBC 6 Music by both Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq.
