minus32heartbeat is the solo project of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Matt Friedlander. He is a passionate sonic presenter with his music always breaking the seams of the ordinary to enter the sphere of novelty. His influences and inspirations range from Oasis and The Velvet Underground to Hans Zimmer, Massive Attack, and arcade video games. And if this spectrum doesn’t convince you of his versatility then his discography definitely will. His love for genre-bending is born out of his creative ability to find fresh contexts around existing patterns. Listening to his music curates a unique listening experience that you will definitely find yourself returning to.
His latest release is ‘This City Shines So Bright’. Imagine a bucket of hypnotic/ transcending daze spilling over you. It is a textured deluge of the mind that conceptualizes the luminosity of the title and the theme. Fuzzy riffs rise, lifting off the basslines dissolving into the riffs, the beats, the energy, the baritones, and everything else. Continuous and bolstered, it spreads expansively, without a beat, only rising, elevating and flying. It depicts the magic of dynamic cities, falling in love, youth, heartbreak, and dreams. By the time you get to the cerebral guitar solo in the climax, you can’t help but be reminded of your 20s, when everything feels so end of the world dramatic, its romanticism and its nostalgia. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
