This EP of all-new material focuses on Matthew Dear's evolving flair for dancefloor compositions, molding his spare techno into a free-form collection of house-tinged gems. Tracks like "Laguna Madre" threaten disco with filters and quirky bass while still maintaining an inclination for the obscure.After taking a brief stint from Ghostly International/Spectral Sound to release material on Berlin's heavily touted Perlon label (Jabberjaw) and Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 imprint (FALSE), Matthew Dear returns with two sister EPs in the mode of sonic reveler.The original picture sleeves for EP1 and EP2 featured blinding white images of Dear in absent face, staring back from the black, straying from the normal Spectral stock image. As unique as the music captured within, these images have survived the test of time as engagingly odd, and remain iconic bases for future releases by Dear.These 2 EPS have pushed the doors of his obsession further and were the first step towards his stunning debut LP.
