Matthew Dear is that rarest of things in the schlumpy indie world in which he is known: A genuinely attractive person. Hiyo! But that’s not the only reason we dig him: His latest record, Asa Breed, is even more of a revelation than his last one, Leave Luck To Heaven: Seriously, if you’ve been wondering lo these last ten years when smart pop is finally gonna collide with deeply-geekly electronic music, you could do no better than to procure both of these records stat. Dear plays Johnny Brenda’s tonight with labelmates the Mobius Band, and we’ve got tickets. To enter to win, send an email to ihopeiwin[at]philebrity[dot]com with “POM POM” in the subject header. Winners will be notified by 4:30pm. Meantime, here’s a track off Asa Breed. Enjoy.
