UK based singer/composer/producer Matt Shaw records, in one of his guises, as Tex La Homa, a name lifted from Canadian author Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel 'Generation X'. He is known for his half whispered vocals with polychrome distortion, heart breakingly pretty melodies, lo-fi guitars and massive, low frequency electronics to create a sequence of chilled out, cinematic ballads.

Departing from the more electronic oriented sounds on previous albums by Tex la Homa, Little Flashes Of Sunlight On A Cold Dark Sea is a collection of eleven acoustic songs featuring Matt Shaw on every instrument, mainly guitar and piano. After releasing six exclusive tracks (which were a prelude to the sound of this last record) entitled Into Timeless Shadows a couple of years ago, Acuarela is proud to present the fourth album by Tex la Homa, an approach towards a more intimate and personal side of his music.
