    Spiked with muted touches of rock and other intangibles, Telluric establishes Corby as far more than a genre stylist and even stamps him as a visionary to watch right out of the gate.

    His perfectionism has done him proud, as Telluric is a masterful glimpse into the mind of a man who has much to say, and who says it beautifully.

    His debut is more Will Oldham than Will Young, with hints of Bon Iver, John Martyn and the Buckleys. The best of a beguiling bunch comes last. [Apr 2016, p.104]

    Production is dense, grainy and atmospheric, with Corby's layered vocals to the fore. [Apr 2016, p.94]

    I was blown away by this album. The funk and soul influences, the general chilled out mood and the provoking lyrics make a gem out of matt's debut LP.

However, as I have grown and my taste in music developed and expanded I find this album to be one of my absolute favourites. Telluric is a beautiful psychedelic experience that's always sure to leave me in a good mood. Expand

Unexpected, interesting, but also a bit boring and discouraged. A pity. With the enormous talent and energy of this musician i expected more than this bit of old bread. Expand
