    Producer, songwriter, and singer Matthew Dear drops another track from his forthcoming album, Beams. While the songs features the dude’s usual deep, strange delivery, it’s got a really spunky vibe coming from the instrumentation that’s a nice change of pace for Dear. There’s a fantastically chilly
