  • 
  Between Tonight & Tomorrow is the new record from Melbourne-based, New Zealand-born musician Matt Joe Gow. The follow-up to the award-winning Break, Rattle And Roll, it is sonically a departure from its predecessor with raw, unvarnished production, and because of that has an undeniable directness and vulnerability.
  
  “We had a clear intention to make a stripped back record, to capture the performances and sound as honestly as possible, and to abandon many standard conventional studio production techniques, which allowed for the most accurate picture of how we sound as a band, live.”
  
  From the prominent intro rattle of a guitar string on the southern swagger-bound ‘Shipwreck’ through to the heartfelt alt. country rocker ’Til My Whole Heart Bursts’ it is clear that the raw production serves as the most direct delivery of what is Joe Gow’s most personal and introspective album. Themes of reminiscence, perspective, death and rebirth are all weighty subjects that Joe Gow approaches with a realism and vulnerability that perhaps come with the comfort and support of a dedicated fanbase, one he has built from years of touring, now four albums deep into his career.
  
  Oh the child has made you
  Close to God, Lord, closing in
  Fear the tide that binds you
  Should the years all come undone
  
  The album’s title track offers insight into the isolation felt by many over recent years, and serves as the centrepiece to the record. On this reflective, mid-tempo track, the lyrics weave spaciously around a hypnotic acoustic pattern to resounding and haunting effect. The song eventually crescendos on the back of a soul-stirring lead guitar refrain, begging a repeat listen and perhaps providing some comfort in those late hours.
  
  Sometimes I hear the phone at night, if I don’t answer, maybe it was you…
  
  Whilst the Stones-esque jangle of ‘NYJJ’ or gospel qualities of popular ‘Sweet Collapse’ reminds us there is a versatility to his long-time backing band The Dead Leaves, and an innate ability to steer the song stylistically in whatever direction best suits it, whilst retaining an authentic coherence. It is that authenticity that has always been at the heart of Joe Gow’s albums, and one that resonates brilliantly on Between Tonight & Tomorrow.
