Matthew Dear “I Can’t Feel” from Black City (to be released August 2010 on Ghostly International)
Listen to "I Can’t Feel" MP3
Musically, Matthew Dear is many things: artist (under various aliases including Audion), producer, keenly sought after remixer and DJ, label co-founder (of both Ghostly International and Spectral Sound). And he is back this summer with his fourth album (under his own name) Black City, his follow-up to 2007’s Asa Breed.
The title track from Black City “I Can’t Feel” is spun from darker stuff. The track begins with an afro-rhythmic clip, a hypnotic bass loop, organ chords and restrained effects. This off-kilter groove is joined by Matthew’s distinctive baritone croon, gliding fitfully forward, until the track simply dissolves. Enjoy the sexy darkness.
