"
Matt Loveridge
is a prolific multi-instrumentalist condemned to Bristol, UK. He has over sixty solo records under various monikers, done before and after his time in Beak>, none of which appear on major streaming platforms, nor get much attention. His work as
MXLX
is a miasmatic fog, and he tosses the listener deep into it.
Kicking Away At The Decrepit Walls Til The Beautiful Sunshine Blisters Thru The Cracks
is his most celebrated release (if one counts hate mail), and it appears here for the first time both on vinyl and somewhere not on his own site. Songs swerve between ambient, electronic ambient noise, metal, and industrial. Vocal harmonies ride arpeggiated basslines and shimmering synth lines, ascending upwards before plummeting into distorted screams. And yet, Loveridge's aggression does not overlook introspection. Drawing from an obsession with literature, he's converted a life stricken with bouts of depression and homelessness into febrile sonic turbulence. He channels the intensity of groups like
Pharmakon
and
The Body
, while embracing compositional noise like
Colin Stetson
. With droning organs, emotionless chanting, and fleeting walls of sound, his results have more to do with cosmic futility than petty score-settling. MXLX produces barren liturgies of raw emotion, like a fallen medieval monk given a synthesizer. He pulls the listener from comfort, spits in their eye, and abandons them as roadkill. An explosive catharsis not for faint hearts or distracted minds."
