about

The 3rd and long awaited studio album from Finland's wandering troubadour, The Mattoid. Begun in 2011 as he was leaving his adopted home of Nashville to return to his native land, completed in Finland, the UK then back in Tennessee, and now releasing on the ten year anniversary. 'Great Lovers' is the 'toid's most mature compilation of music to date, including his first releases in his native tongue. Cleft Music is proud to finally present 'Great Lovers' to the world.
