Nashville-based Matched is the collaborative project of husband and wife duo Ben Parks and Emily Townsend Hall. They recently caught our attention with the release of their debut single, “Give In.”
The track takes us back a bit to the early 2000s era of indie rock, a mix of bands like Camera Obscura with a wistful melancholic nature, blended with the 80s-inspired sounds and dream pop of contemporaries such as Alvvays and Slow Pulp.
Speaking on the song, the band adds:
Give In has an acoustic forward indie pop rock vibe. This song is about struggling with perfectionism and feeling internal and external pressure to pretend to be something or someone different, when all you can really do is be who you are.
