Matthew Dear’s 2007 album Asa Breed was one of my favourites of that year. In the intervening period, he returned to work under his other aliases: Audion, False and Jabberjaw but on August 17th, he will return with Black City, his first album under his own name since Asa Breed, to be released on Ghostly.
Dear is offering a free MP3 download of album track ‘I Can’t Feel’ from his site. Listen to the stream here, then grab it.

He also provided us with one of the best of a glut of the xx remixes earlier this year. Hear it after the jump.
