Los Angeles producer Matthew "Matthewdavid" McQueen releases 34 min. of bass-heavy beats via his own Leaving Records. LImited to 250
There’s a twisted familiarity to much of this album, like finding your family covered in ectoplasm. The first full track “Time Flying” stretches Roland Orzabal’s lovelorn croon from “Head Over Heels” into a drowned howl, meshing it with footwork drum twitches. “Flow With the Go” is a star-stepping fete that sounds like it’s emerged from Flying Lotus’ Cosmogramma asterism, while the clean, summery guitars on “Yearns Out” gesture toward a reality where Matthewdavid is a reliable pop producer. For all his headiness, Matthewdavid reminds us throughout the album that he’s adroit at composing missives for the body.
