ROB SEZ: My daughter Hannah gets the credit for my learning about Matthew & The Atlas. She discovered the group using a Spotify app that introduces you to new music based on other artists you like. Pretty cool. If you dig bands like Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons and Covenhoven, I think you’ll appreciate Matthew & The Atlas.
