Matthew Dear
“I Can’t Feel” (mp3)
from “Black City”
(Ghostly International)
Matthew Dear’s Black City can’t be found on any map. It’s a composite, an imaginary metropolis peopled by desperate cases, lovelorn souls, and amoral motives. Like most literary Gothams, Black City is a place to love and hate. Catch the New York musician playing DJ sets at these North American clubs:
