The band has been championed by Jack White,[1] who took them out on arena shows around the US. Rolling Stone compared Brown’s “gorgeously yearning, full-voiced alto range” to Nico,[2] while NPR wrote: “There's something delightfully unique about Mattiel's music. A pinch of garage rock, a touch of psychedelia, some galloping honky-tonk and at the lead, Mattiel Brown's powerful and assertive vocals.”[3]
Sophomore album Satis Factory received four-star reviews from The Guardian, Q, Mojo, DIY, Uncut, and The Times, and was named Album of the Weekend by BBC Radio 1 Hype Chart and A-listed as Album of the Day on BBC Radio 6 Music. Mattiel were also listed as WXPN Artist of the Month.[4]
In addition, Mattiel have also performed on Later... with Jools Holland and Last Call with Carson Daly, and featured in The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Most of their performances are posted on their YouTube channel, as well as their southern gothic style music videos, the newest of which for the song Blood in the Yolk was inspired by 1970s middle eastern gothic styles.
