Our Take
MATTHEW DEAR's "Black City" is a dark, brooding masterpiece that takes you on a journey through the shadows of electronic music. Dear's unique blend of techno, house, and experimental sounds creates an otherworldly atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling.
From the opening track "Honey" to the closing notes of "You Put a Smell on Me," "Black City" keeps you on edge with its menacing beats and haunting vocals. Dear's production skills are on full display here, with layers of synths and percussion creating a dense sonic landscape that is as mesmerizing as it is disorienting.
Each track on the album tells a story, whether it's the twisted love affair in "You Put a Smell on Me" or the existential dread of "I Can't Feel." Dear's lyrics are poetic and enigmatic, adding another layer of intrigue to the already complex sonic tapestry.
"Black City" is not an easy listen, but it rewards those willing to immerse themselves in its dark, enigmatic world. Dear's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds and textures sets him apart from his peers in the electronic music scene.
In conclusion, "Black City" is a bold, ambitious album that showcases Matthew Dear's skills as a producer, singer, and songwriter. It may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a journey worth embarking on.
