Matthew Robb “History Before It Happens”

January 25, 2024 0
An accomplished yet ambiguous offering from the world-weary poet. UK-born, Germany-based poet and songwriter Matthew Robb’s fourth album, ‘History Before It Happens’ has a slippery, ambiguous character. Through syllable-packed songs lamenting the state of the world, […]
