With his new 10inch single, >Deserter<, and the forthcoming Asa Breed LP, Dear works again under his birthname to combine his atmospheric production with distinctive vocals to craft a sophisticated take on avant-pop. >Deserter< is a moody, robust and elegant marriage of beats and melody, including his best lyricism to date. Its dawn music, submerged in a warm gauze of synths and anchored by a relentless backbeat. The exclusive >You Know What I Would Do< hits the dance vibe that Dear is known for with a Prince-esque minimalism and funk, while the flip side hosts Four Tet s dreamy reinterpretation of >Deserter< , owing as much to classic Detroit techno as it does to Balearic Island classics
