After an assortment of 12' releases under his belt, Matthew Dear releases his debut full-length album, consisting of all-new material including the hit single 'Dog Days'. Dear adds a pop element to his sleek minimal techno with the addition of lead vocals on several tracks. 'What separates him from the electro revival is a peculiar comination of geeky introversion and an old-fashioned backbeat he borrowed from swing. He's creating his own claustrophobic jitterbug party.' - The New York Times
