Matt crafts a sound that exists in the intersection of glossy modern pop and the gritty, pixelated textures of early internet aesthetics. The music is defined by its use of sharp, digital synthesizers and perfectly quantized drum machines that provide a rigid but infectious backbone for more vulnerable, breathy vocal performances. It is music that feels both highly constructed and deeply personal, capturing the specific loneliness of the digital age.
What makes this artist distinctive is the subtle infusion of chiptune and 8-bit influences into a contemporary R&B and synth-pop framework. Rather than sounding like a video game soundtrack, these elements are used as textural seasoning, adding a brittle, shimmering quality to the production. The melodies are often hyper-catchy but delivered with a deadpan or gentle affect that prevents the music from feeling overly saccharine.
Start with the album Destiny to hear the most refined version of this aesthetic. It showcases the balance between high-fidelity pop sensibilities and the quirky, electronic experimentation that defines the project. It is the perfect companion for moments of solitary focus or late-night urban exploration.
