Our Lovely City Last week, we interviewed Matthew Dear. Techno’s poster boy told us all about his extraordinary new album: a bewitching, electronic pop wonder called Asa Breed. Amongst other cool things we learned that Vine To Vine, the album’s surprise hidden track, a dusty, country-rock stomper is about one of his ancestors: “I learned that my father’s great grandfather was murdered in Texas by Texas Rangers. He was murdered for his land. I thought it would be a cool thing to write about. It’s pretty much the only song I’ve ever written that is about a single event. It definitely comes from the most honest place, the most hard, non-fiction place.” The full interview will appear in the next issue of Clash. Above you can watch short films that the folks at Ghostly International made to accompany each of the album’s tracks. Below we have one of the new album’s many highlights and Dear’s very first release from 1999, a track he co-produced with the sorely missed Disco D. The vocal hook will be familiar to anyone who, like us, frequents crappy provincial nightclubs. Matthew Dear - Don and Sherri [mp3] [Buy] Daisha - Hands Up For Detroit [mp3] Posted by: Scott 11/06/07
