Relatively hot on the heels on his superb 2010 album Black City, Matthew Dear has announced the follow-up to it will be titled Beams and will have an EP preceding its release. Not a great deal of light has been shed about Beams, other than it’s called Beams and will be with us some time in new year, but there’s plenty of details about the EP, titled Headcage. It’s a four song affair, featuring a collaboration with The Drums member Jonny Pierce and production credits from Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid, who have previously worked with Blonde Redhead, Glasser and Fever Ray. It’ll be released digitally on Ghostly International come January 17th, so there’s not long to wait, but if you need something to satisfy your appetite until then, check out the title track below (which can be also downloaded for free), along with a bright and somewhat disorientating teaser video and the EP artwork.
