Bio
Eugene The Oceanographer has not attempted to be a reflection but to be obnoxious and a digestion of all aspects of its maker Matthew O’Toole’s life artistically , personally and philosophically. Musically and artistically the project is more openly a response to Manchester culture, hip hop culture, pop culture whilst lyrically having a consistently introspective tone, using metaphors in a more traditional more specific way than Matthew has done before...recently. For the first time Matthew’s song-writing has been less concerned with stories and Matthew has attempted to be more open personally and philosophically, and document his life more honestly. There is also more of an intention to collaborate musically, on the new record "Christmas 1995" Shrenin Wheat has an indescribably important role. Previously Matthew has worked with and had immeasurable help from Qlly and Sam Buchanan of The Bathroom Crooners. This project is consistently influenced by The Beatles and Gorillaz.
ETO have only played three shows so far, Matthew doesn’t like to play live much so he has only chose to play when he thinks it could be special. ETO’s first show was for a friend’s birthday at fallow in Manchester a few months ago, and they have just played two shows in japan, in Nagoya and Tokyo. WOW!
