Any Matthew Dear fans? I bought his new Headcage EP off of iTunes a few weeks ago. I've been following him since Asa Breed and I've heard some of his releases as Audion. When he's good he's really good, and when he's not, the tracks are tedious at best, but there's not much he's done that I don't like.

Twin Cinema posted:I didn't see the new "The XX" song posted, so here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nW5AF0m9Zw When I saw them live at Lollapalooza, they played the end of Shelter with this amazing, dance floor type breakdown that made me wonder if it was a sound they were moving toward. I later read that they were, and here, months later, this track. I completely agree with you as far as lacking a good hook, but maybe it will find its own moment on some lonely late night. I know I've posted about Matthew Dear before but I didn't get any replies, so here's to trying again. I've been following his career closely since I came across his work under the name Audion back in 2008. I'm in constant awe at Dear's handle on making songs that sound subtly strange and off-kilter but poppy and addictive, like staring at a picture of Charlotte Gainsbourg and slowly getting an erection. His newest LP, Beams, is set to drop later this month and I can't remember the last time I've been this excited about a release. Here's a teaser for the new album detailing the process behind the cover art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Z1G8lB3Mw The first single from the new album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7GB8IJs6ic Dear taking a tape recorder on the street in Brooklyn and creating a song from scratch (and it actually doesn't suck) as featured on Jay-Z's blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIb1i8HzYkk pathetic gbs homo fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Aug 5, 2012 |
