Originally released in 2010, the record is dark and brooding, a cryptic musical imagination of Dear who showcases his maturity and individuality as a songwriter. \"Honey\" opens up the LP. Eerie and tension-filled, the \"cavernous atmospherics\" that drive the song are broken up by distant distortions and bleeps. It's the perfect gateway to the shadowy world of \u003ci\u003eBlack City\u003c\/i\u003e, which is followed by the slow-motion sleaze of \"I Can't Feel.\" \"Little People (Black City)\" is the lead single, and it's a 9-plus-minute disco romp that feels lighter in mood, until you pay attention to the lyrics: \"a frozen wasted heart \/ has died\" \/ \"Love Me like a clown.\" Yikes. \"You Put a Smell on Me\" is another highlight, a sex-charged synth pop full of ominous\/fun sonic details. Also check out \"More Surgery\" and \"Slowdance.\" This is the official reissue on black smoke vinyl, MP3 download included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack smoke vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emp3 download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhostly International 2010 \/ 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by rei kwondo 09\/18\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Matthew Dear","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP *LocNYA2","offer_id":12765136617584,"sku":"lp-9941","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/matthewdear-blackcity.jpg?v=1762275588","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/matthew-dear-black-city-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
