Peervalidated will update our website everyday for the remainder of this old year with a few of the great things we missed. It could be because we’re lazy, it could be because we didn’t hear of it, it could simply be because we forgot. Here’s one such band/song/genre/etc…
Pictured: Matthew Dear. “Oh, I hope Peer Validated wrote about me today!”
We don’t feel as bad about ignoring an artist when all the other blogs give him/her so much attention. Matthew Dear was one such case. His new album, Asa Breed, was released way back in July of ‘07, and the buzz never really faded. Now as blogs put out their Best of ‘07 lists, the CD’s standout track Deserter is atop many for best song.
Deserter is soft and careful, working bright electronic beeps and boops around a stop and go pattern of clicks and beats. The vocal parts are consistant, deep and somewhat monotone, leaving their melodies unobvious and letting them blend into the music rather than blare over it. It’s a dreamy song that goes down easy, and Deserter certainly brought the credit he deserves to Matthew Dear in 2007.
