West Australian blues wunderkind Matty T Wall has announced the release of his new single, Tornado Of Love.
The first taste of his forthcoming new album, Dust And Dynamite, Tornado Of Love is a sassy blues humdinger powered along by Matty’s rip-roaring guitar licks and some deliciously appropriate horns from Nashville’s The Smoking Section.
Deliciously appropriate? Well, Tornado Of Love is all about the horn, after all. It’s playfully lusty in a way only the blues can be.
“It’s real, real punchy,” explains Matty. “Right out of the gate, it’s obviously a very lustful topic. It’s the oldest topic that there is, and it’s all about that. It’s all about the high energy, go for it attitude with that experience. So it’s out there, and the lyrics are there for all to see.”
Indeed, they are…
‘Looking forward to our little rendezvous,
Hearts beating wild just focused in on you
Fire in the eyes baby, fire down below
We’re gonna get in trouble babe, gonna stop the show ‘
Tornado Of Love offers an exciting glimpse into Matty’s fourth studio album, Dust And Dynamite, set for release in March 2027. Together with the rhythm section of Leigh Miller (bass) and Ric Whittle (drums), Matty has dug deeper into his own musical roots, while still rolling in the rich traditions of the
blues. As such, this album represents a maturation of his natural musical style.
“I’ve always liked the core sound I’ve been trying to make ever since I started,” he explains, “somewhere between Stevie Ray Vaughan and Metallica. They’re two of my favourite artists across blues and metal. That has always been what I’m trying to mix together to create my own thing that still sounds like blues but still appeals to someone who likes metal.
“On some of the albums I’ve managed to pull it off on a song or two here and there, but on this recording, it seems to me that I’ve pulled it off more so than any of the others I’ve done.”
Tornado Of Love will be launched on Saturday, December 19, at The Duke Of George in East Fremantle.
