"An accomplished multi-instrumentalist [with] a sound that’s unique within the genre. Frazier hearkens back to the... glory days of singer-songwriters -- melodic, sometimes introspective writing mated with instrumental acumen." "Earnest acoustic folk music that’s at once pleasing and challenging. Many of Frazier’s songs... can apply to most situations — universal quests for meaning in a confusing world. Others are note-perfect character studies [with a] mix of telling details and honest emotion." "Out of the Shadows [is] very much a folk-oriented affair, with many of the songs featuring only Frazier’s guitar and... Bruce Cockburn-esque singing voice. A few of the songs... feature a full combo sound, with some rather clever arrangements [from] the tight backing band. Which is no mean feat when you play all the instruments yourself, as Frazier did. "Matt’s music explores a reflective side of life. With sparse arrangements and contemplative lyrics, Matt takes us on a journey of introspection. His songs tell stories of the disenfranchised and asks questions we all, at times, find ourselves seeking answers to."
