Initially associated with the Richie Hawtin school of Detroit minimalism, he's been diversifying his sound over the course of his prolific recorded output (he also records under the names Jabberjaw and False, among others) since at least 2003's Leave Luck to Heaven. But Breed is more song-oriented and accessible than anything else he's released, even as it rolls out the sharp-edged studio craft that has built Dear's reputation as a producer. Songs like \"Pom Pom\" are fractured new wave flashbacks while short and seemingly simple songs like \"Death to Feelers\" get deeply ambient, revealing new layers with repeated listens. Another trick that helps soften the record is the work done on Dear's droning baritone. An acquired taste at best, he wisely chose to give it a sharper electro edge, mixing it up in a Nick-Cave-meets-Gary Numan way as his lyrics bounce between nonsensical and sarcastic. Stripped down and largely acoustic songs like \"Midnight Lovers\" and \"Vine to Vine\" only add minimal effects, letting Dear's weird words drive the music forward. While some fans hoping for a proper DJ record might be disappointed, Asa Breed is clearly the work of a man who wants little or nothing to do with what's expected. --Matthew Cooke\n\nProduct Description\n\nMatthew Dear's ASA BREED finds the Detroit-based electronic artist achieving new artistic heights - it's more robust, more accessible and yet still undeniably Matthew Dear. Incorporating his uniquely crafted textures alongside rhythmic influences from Brian Eno and David Byrne's classic MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS, plus a lyrical storytelling element from his Texas upbringing, ASA BREED is a completely unique musical experience.\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793941151995,"sku":"CD-VG-052024-WC-666","price":15.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4670\/6171\/files\/open-uri20251225-3206035-92y1tg.jpg?v=1766677855","url":"https:\/\/legendarymedias.com\/products\/asa-breed-audio-cd-matthew-dear-very-good","provider":"Legendary Medias","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
