Matthew Dear’s Asa Breed finds the Detroit-based electronic
artist achieving new artistic heights – it’s more
robust, more accessible, and yet still undeniably Matthew Dear.
Incorporating his uniquely crafted textures alongside rhythmic
influences from Brian Eno & David Byrne’s
classic My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, plus a lyrical storytelling
element from his Texas upbringing, Asa Breed is a completely
unique musical experience.
Since his debut at the decade’s beginning,
Matthew Dear has been championed as North America’s brightest
new electronic talent. His 2003 debut, Leave
Luck To Heaven,
garnered unequivocal praise from the likes of Rolling Stone,
Spin and Entertainment Weekly, and in the period since, Dear
has conquered the international techno scene under the alias
of Audion. But when it came
time to return to his roots, there was only one path to take. |
