A new album built from personal recordings centered on guitar loops, made around the time he released 2008's "Asa Breed" — the record on which he stepped away from 4/4 grid-based dance tracks — while shuttling between Detroit and his native Texas. The sound reflects the influence of his late father, a lover of outlaw country music: "it isn't afraid to straddle the two worlds of porch-music talking blues and minimal techno." A MATTHEW DEAR world that works beautifully for home listening and shows its unique side on the floor as well. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
