Found this one lurking around in Nathan Fake's BTS Radio mixtape like a sulky beast that hates being the centre of attention. I would definitely recommend sticking around for the full 7 minutes because there's oodles of stuff to take in. In fact, get those old headphones on and put your head down for a bit.
We are big fans of Matthew Dear's work here at {work:ethic} headquarters. His consistent output of acid house as well as the 80s referencing paranoid-pop songs on 2007's quietly conquering Asa Breed album (not to mention the unstoppable series of 12"s from his raunchy Audion alter-ego) have made it difficult for us not to get excited about every bit of music he comes out with...
Enter "Black City", his new LP which Ghostly International themselves describe as being the 'culmination of years of hard work and experimentation, a darkly playful sound-world that envelops the listener like the arms of a malevolent lover'. Ghostly International don't tend to exaggerate too much when it comes to their own releases, and both the teaser above and album track 'Soil to Seed' below seem to offer ample insight for what looks to be a storming listen. Bring it on.
