Matthew Dear's "Fighting is Futile" is out today with a hefty remix package; critical favorites like Seth Troxler , KiNK, and Benoit & Sergio have all bestowed remixes upon the Brooklyn-based DJ's latest single off his stunning 2012 album Beams. Dear has always done well straddling the gap between house and indie rock, and with many productions indebted to the likes of Talking Heads or Brian Eno, his work on Beams was no different. Troxler takes the already bouncy, drug-addled track and adds enough psychedelia and strangeness to [...]

Matthew Dear: Beams - Think about a sober menage a trois of LCD Soundsystem (especially ' Someone Great ' ) , the grooves of Fatboy Slim , and The Blue Man Group 's primal sense of rhythm. Therein breathes and breeds Matthew Dear 's Beams , in that atmosphere of techno groove brooding. This plays well enough in headphones or even left on your iTunes, however I believe Matthew Dear's Beam s is meant for the live show. The intimately layered beats are to be [...]
The one and only Matthew Dear has gone ahead and released yet another amazing album, Beams , an amalgam of extraterrestrial pop that highlights his seamless transition from tech-house shaman to scion of modern music in the image of Bowie or Byrne. You're probably not going to be hearing his tracks on the radio anytime soon; I mean pop in the classical sense, like when radio music happened to be accessible, catchy and fun to dance to. Dear's label Ghostly International has had nothing short of an amazing run these past few years [...]
Matthew Dear - Beams By Russell Warfield Matthew Dear wore his mood on his sleeve with the cover art and title of his last LP Black City – a dark, industrial, almost soulless (I mean none of this as a criticism) sheen of grinding rhythms and Dear’s idiosyncratic, dehumanised vocal. (I’ll leave you to imagine the colour scheme of the album sleeve). With Dear’s newest LP – his sixth – the same can almost be said: the title Beams suggesting piercing rays of [...]
Think a sober menage a trois of LCD Soundsystem (especially Someone Great) , the grooves of Fatboy Slim, an The Blue Man Group's primal sense of rhythm. Therein breathes and breeds Matthew Dear's Beams , in that atmosphere of techno groove brooding. This plays well enough in headphones or even left on your iTunes, however I believe Matthew Dear's Beams is meant for the live show. The intimately layered beats are to be loved by the pulse of a moving audience. But this does not mean Beams cannot be appreciated in the [...]
Caution! Intricate beats and gloom-filled lyrics ahead. Ghostly International, 2012 8.0 / 10.0 The latest album from dark-pop composer Matthew Dear is a collection of well-oiled beats and electronic soundscapes with a little bit of love and fear thrown into the gears. Beams plays like a locomotive machine from [...]

On Matthew Dear's fifth full-length album, the singer-producer improves his grooves and lyrics while making his definitive, dark-as-hell sound a bit more colorful than usual. WATCH THE REVIEW
★★★☆☆ Matthew Dear’s evolution continues, now settling into a midlife shuffle that marks the point where 2003’s Leave Luck to Heaven and fifth album Beams have very little in common. The vocal style that he’s allowed to seep through record by record now takes center stage, its leftfield pop aspiration sort of hanging off beats with a languid keeping of distance, using a kind of Beck-meets-Davids Byrne/Bowie gabble. Dear’s persona is now either too cool for everything, or not cool enough for anything, veiling happiness in a saddened slouch, with low-spirited charm [...]
Diversity does not necessarily a decent LP make, yet it remains intrinsic to the oeuvres of avant-electro polymath Matthew Dear . Beams is his umpteenth, and fifth full-length under the name his momma gave him and even at thirty-something he's shakin' that same soma for all it's worth. Shake Me, however, is something of a gelid flicker; a dull flame burning with the introspective ire of Depeche Mode's Violator . Elsewhere however, Dear paints a rather different picture. Doubtless the man's artistry can never be negated: having relocated to [...]
Producer/DJ/Electro-experiment er Matthew Dear releases his fifth studio album, Beams , on August 28th via Ghostly International. "Earthforms", the first single off Beams, is a gritty track pulsing with a heady bassline that will having you making forms on the dance floor. The song opens with Dear declaring, "It's okay to be someone else sometimes" so channel your inner dancehall queen or king and dance freely and loudly to "Earthforms." The earlier released " Her Fantasy " also off Beams proves to be equally epic. Get [...]
