Tex La Homa
Dazzle Me With Transience
Superglider
I'm not sure if I can explain just how much I love
this disc. I first checked out Tex La Homa on the phenomenal
A Room Full of Tuneful compilation on Melodic
and and was thrilled when Matt Shaw aka Tex La Homa
sent over his debut album from of his own Superglider
label. Matt Shaw combines the moodiest guitar and vocals
you've heard in a long while and combine them with electronic
based effects and rhythm structures in such a perfect
way that you'd never imagine guitar bands ever having
issues with electronic based music. For me, it bridges
any gap between acoustic and electronic music works
perfectly for those who ever imagined what bands like
Joy Division or Morphine would be doing nowadays if
their front men didn't meet such tragic ends. This is
a mature, beautiful, and emotional debut from an artist
that more listeners must check out. With the huge amount
of releases that we receive, this is one of those rare
highlights that I wish could happen more often. It's
not an album you'd want to put on if you were spending
a birthday alone and drinking some year but perfect
for many other occasions. I'm looking very forward to
see what comes next. - JH
