Records of 2010 - 8. Matthew Dear - Black City

Records of 2010 - 8. Matthew Dear - Black City

This album is a dark and twisted dance in the urban sprawl of a twisted mind in a jam of a funk. Matthew Dear has exceptionaly built on 2008's sprightly '"Asa Breed" to infuse disco, glitch and high vocal experimentation to create a sultry and foreboding fourth album. It's lyrical and vocal seduction. Take this for example- "You Put a Smell on Me:"

"Take a ride in my big black car
We can go real loud
We can go real far
We have a radio in my big black car
We can go all night, if you wanna go far
You decide if you want to come
Take a ride with me in my big black gun
We've got four wheels that can take us there
If you wanna come down
Don't answer me"

Could anything me more inviting right now? I don't think so. Noir. Sombre. Surpenant.
