As editors, critics, and fans look at their stack of 2010 releases, there is no question that many of them have placed Matthew Dear‘s chilling and endearing Black City high in the overwhelming heap. Dear recently kicked off a lengthy set of tour dates (see here for dates), so he’s unleashed this digital bonus track “Innh Dahh.” The track serves as an appropriate afterword to the density of Black City with its short, intimate vocal loops providing comfort to Dear’s submerged voice. While the song is squarely of the album’s somber mood, it seems to drift and float away in beatless ambience, nostalgic for Black City‘s imagined spaces yet comfortable to be left at the fringes of the action.
