"Now, charasmatic [Provocateur] front man MATTHEW CONNOR is stepping away from the constant pounding of the electro pulse and stripping it all down with a new EP, Ghost Town, that's available for free download today via Bandcamp and Soundcloud. His crooner voice, at times channeling Bryan Ferry in distress, works surprisingly well over the gentle, folk-ish acoustics. Call it the morning after the party, the soundtrack for when everyone's gone long home, and the mess still remains." - The Boston Phoenix, On The Download
