Music videos are a rarely mentioned factor of many of the images that come to mind when we listen to music. In 2012, some of these videos were not only fantastic, they defied expectation in every regard. So whether you were thinking of ballerinas, birdmen, your computer coming to life or launching into space on a homemade spaceship or not, these artists have indelibly ingrained these images into our minds forever. These videos are as much pieces of art as the songs themselves and the best of the best of 2012: #10 Ski Lodge: I Would Die To [...]

John Talabot By Stef Siepel The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. It is almost November, traditionally a time some of those these-are-my-favorites-lists start to pop up. With this column going on hiatus after this one, lets look back at some tracks that either were released this year or [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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

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 [...]

Matthew Dear is back again, taunting us with a second song taken from his forthcoming sophomore record, Beams, out in August through Ghostly International .

Check out this remix of Matthew Dear's new song, Her Fantasy , by Poolside .

The upcoming Beams album from Matthew Dear is set to be released on August 27th, " Her Fantasy " is the first release from it. Seemingly not much is going to change from 20102s Black City which, although having mixed emotions across the board about his chosen vocal style, really was a solid album worth remembering. This Kenneth Anger inspired avante-garde video was directed by Tommy O'Haver , it is a visual masterpiece. Connect [...]
Matthew Dear's trippy new video “Her Fantasy” features a roster of characters you might have come across at a costume party in the seventies.

Cool remix from Melbourne’s Tornado Wallace to the Matthew Dear track "Her Fantasy", taken from the upcoming LP "Beams" 27 August on Ghostly International.
Texas based electronic mastermind, Matthew Dear , has come out with a very odd and sensual clip for his hit single, “Her Fantasy”. While I like every girl I meet to be very creative and have a huge imagination, I’m not sure if I can handle all of this coming out of her brain. Dear’s upcoming LP, Beams , will be out August 28th via Ghostly International. Matthew Dear - “Her Fantasy”

Dear's second full-length, (following up his lauded 2010 LP Black City), Beams is slated for release on Ghostly International this August. This NYC-based producer blends pop, house, and experimental influences, adding thick layers of his unmistakable vocals, which can be interpreted as playful and lighthearted, or conflicted and disturbed depending on the mood of the listener. Dear is well aware of the multiplicity of the personalities that he conveys in his music: "I’m about 4 to 5 different people at any given time," Dear says. "By [...]
