Matthew Dear Gets “Dizzy” on New Song

Matthew Dear has kept a relatively low profile since his 2018 album Bunny. That has begun to change: This summer, the techno producer released “New Drug” and “Head in the Clouds” for the French label Salon, his first tracks since the 2022 release “Talking Sleep.” Now, he is back at his alma mater label Ghostly with a formal comeback single. Listen to “Dizzy” below.

Of the song’s nocturnal soul, Dear writes in a press release:

Dear wrote, produced, and performed the single, before Scott Lake picked up the mix and master at Subterranean Sound Studios. Since releasing Bunny, Dear has retrieved his lost album Preacher’s Sigh & Potion for a 2021 release after shelving it in 2008.
