"It's always exciting when an artist continues to take big steps, and on his latest release MattxIbarra takes us past the ambient tropes and hits us with a variety of vocal performances that ring more hollow and real than your standard somber synth track. Besides the deep tissue, woozy, slow burn vamps, the dominant sonic vibe at work in these songs is Ibarra's vocal styles that range from private convos to the hypnotic kin of Bjork to primordial metabolic states. There is a certain hollow nostalgia that is carried by hi hats and swashes of synths, as if Ibarra's fugue state was chill as hell, just going for it, floating and emoting crucial R&B desires and lost sultries, as if a confession were coming thru an AM station, deep and dark down the dial."
