Christchurch based singer/songwriter Bryony Matthews has just released 'Carried Away', the third single from her recently released debut album Little Queen.

Matthews writes unique, considered, lyrics-focused folk-pop offerings, with her band lending an upbeat ambiance to the songs.

"Carried Away is a song about a time where I was getting carried away in my own freedom, doing things that I thought I wanted but hurting myself in the process and drifting further from who I wanted to be." says Matthews. "The song is set in the surroundings of the glorious circus that Lyttelton can be. It's definitely the most angst song on the album".

Matthews enlisted Dictaphone Blues front man Eddie Castelow to produce Little Queen, bringing drummer AJ Park and guitarist Adam Hattaway along for the ride.

'Carried Away' is now available for purchase from Bandcamp. To listen, head to Spotify .

Matthews is embarking on a mini tour of Aotearoa this August, accompanied by Dictaphone Blues (solo) and Emily Fairlight.
