mat riviere brainlove records fyh follow your heart

POWERHAUS! Fresh from two stunning sets at Iceland's Airwaves Festival, Brainlove is proud to announce the release of Mat Riviere's debut single on December 7th 2009. The track, entitled FYH, is a time-stretched earworm that announces an exciting new UK artist.

The track FYH will be available for free, with a download bundle available to buy for those who need more containing remixes by Napoleon IIIrd, Pagan Wanderer Lu and Dreamtrak Diamond Sound, a live version from Iceland Airwaves 2009, and a brand new b-side. The video, directed by Michael Page, can be seen here.

What they're saying:

"Delightfully doleful drone-pop." - Pinglewood

"Sparse but intense songs, heavy on atmosphere and melody... a pop maverick for the future." - The National Student Newspaper

"One of the most haunting and mesmerising spectacles you will catch... simply fantastic" - Artrocker

"Solo eccentrica from the UK's DIY mecca, Norwich" - Plan B

"Apocalyptic, atonal drone." - Reykjavik Grapevine

"Glitchy, lo-fi, minimal pop heartaches... the newest signing to Brainlove Records bears his soul with a gorgeous collection of laconic, tragic songs" - The Line Of Best Fit

"Mat Riviere is the best thing to happen to Norwich since that damn castle was erected. He straddles the honesty that Yoni Wolf created with Why? whilst firmly taking a stand for thoughtful and creative lo-fi music. He makes us swoon." - The 405

"'FYH' resembles Why? with its gothic atmosphere and stark vocal delivery. It's an attention-grabber." - Muso's Guide

"Mat hollers his songs over circuit-bent casio, sampled beats and battered floor tom, his lyrics full of love, desperation and simmering violence." - Ilya & Emila

"A melodic powerhouse." - Iceland Airwaves 2009 Programme

From the blogs:

"Songs like FYH seem almost too simple and slender to contain such a wonderful refrain and a chorus, swelling uncontrollably with sad exuberance... wonderful." - A New Band A Day

"Baroque funeral electro" - Pigeon Post

"The sound of one man’s primal scream... sweat and synth and veins and spit... compelling." - Last Year's Girl

"Climactic lo-fi circuit bent pop songs." - Separated By Motorways
