Listen to Matthew Dear - “Headcage”

The new Matthew Dear is interesting, “Headcage” sounds warbly and synthy, all slowly upbeat and plodding along. It's part the upcoming Matthew Dear release Headcage coming out on Jan. 17 via Ghostly. He sets the experimental programming and synth-based combination on edge, There's something kind off-kilter in the melody, but the driving rythym holds it altogether. The message from the label Ghostly reads ""Headcage" leads with a dense, mutating cluster of breaths, whispers and assorted technicolor sounds until it coalesces into a hearty chug. The song gets an added aural heft from co-producers Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid, a Swedish partnership notable for work on albums like Blonde Redhead's Penny Sparkle, Glasser's Ring and Fever Ray's self-titled record."
