Like someone cradling your head before suddenly dragging you up to dance, the sweet music-box instrumentation does a beautiful job of drawing you quietly in to the world of Mat Riviere . It doesn't last for too long however, as the song suddenly blooms into something far more upbeat. In ~2 Seconds is the first single from Mat's new album, Not Even Doom Music (May 13th), and it's a deliciously ambiguous slice of floral scandi-pop that finds a perfect balance between the gloomy baritone vocals and music primed [...]
The Stiffcast is not the cheap innuendo I am sure you assume it to be. No no no, not that sort of stiff, the sort where every joint and muscle in your body aches because you are woefully out of shape and attempting to run around like a teenager. That sort of stiff. Yes, after three months out with a groin strain (no sniggering at the back, please) I have tried to go back to the gym and to five-a-sides over the last week or two with what can only be described as somewhat [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. I’ve always said that if I ever decided to make music, if I had the energy to bother dusting off the ol’ MicroKorg from the attic, downloading Ableton Live, waiting for a minor emotional crisis before recording all my heartache onto a four-track tape recorder then the results would probably just sound like a second rate Mat Riviere track anyway, so why even bother. Luckily for myself and all the other post-teen angst and pre-middle aged jaded twenty- somethings [...]
Brainlove man Mat Riviere sure does have an almost masochistic knack of producing beautifully painful alt-pop songs, nearly as much as we take a sadistic pleasure in hearing them. 'Shores', a new track uploaded just yesterday, starts slow with the unravelling of what sounds like a jewellery box winding in reverse, accompanied by a piano part and glock bits of fittingly juvenile simplicity. The vocals top and lap each other, like the mournful voices of childhood friends echoing through an empty attic. It comes to an unhinged climax as the wheels derail, static [...]
Beyond the sweater and the curly hair, Mat Riviere is an electronic dynamo. London-based label Brainlove has a growing reputation for producing left-field and experimental music, and Riviere is a particular favourite of mine from their prolific roster. The first new material since his 2010 releases, Follow Your Heart and the Evening Drive EP, 'Coal' follows the lead set by its brilliant predecessors. Building slowly with a crooked off-key guitar, Riviere's typically laconic vocals overlay as his tonal range varies from falsetto to baritone in a way that [...]

Mat Riviere Having kicked things off in Cardiff, CAMP Basement tonight is the second stop along the bus route that is BRNLV Records 2010 Tour. Up first is the ever-intense Mat Riviere : lurching half bent on the floor a stream of esoteric lyrics splutter out over his incredible array of noise, gadgetry and instruments. A certain ferocity seems to overcome this quiet natured Norwich based artist the moment his trembling lips reach the microphone, only to be hushed by rare moments of uncanny silence ushered in by delicate keys. These are only momentary states [...]

Il faut du temps pour se remettre d'un album comme Follow Your Heart de Mat Riviere . Une perle noire d'emo-fi synthétique et un grand disque d'idées noires. Sur lequel on jurerait entendre Cold Cave de passage chez Anticon pour nous vriller le moral ( Evening Drive , Curse These Eyes ) ou, inversement, Yoni Wolf échoué chez Captured Tracks (notamment sur Pause , une bombe émotionnelle heureusement désamorcée). Il y a sur Follow Your Heart de la puissance rentrée comme du Liars lo-fi ( Take My Sums and Add Them ). [...]
Does anyone know who Mat Riviere is? I didn't until I heard his FYH single Curse These Eyes . I'm still sifting through a lot of his earlier work but so far I;m liking the majority of what I come across. He self-describes his music having "Repitition. Loops that don't stay in time. And [a] self-harmonizing [vibe]." I dig it. Simple and different. Curse These Eyes captured a dark synthetic vibe I haven't heard in electro for awhile. Tune in to Riviere's myspace for more tracks and updates. The track was [...]
