Matthew DeLoach | Lois Righteous | Trashcan 3 | + Organized Boys Dance Party After Bands
Matthew DeLoach
There’s a muted inertia to Mannequin Lover’s new track which pressurizes the song with dark, brooding energy. Matthew DeLoach’s vocals waft around the sequenced tones and break up the expansive song into neat sectors of danceable magic. Overall, it exposes a more focused side to his surreal acid pop while invoking diverse influences; everything from the early Berlin scene to ’90s French house to DFA contemporaries Shit Robot. “Beat It with Chain” might not break new ground in the world of dance music, but it’s a clever fusion of sounds and evidence that DeLoach’s style continues to evolve in new directions. Mannequin Lover has been his solo project for over three years now and he continues to display a wide variety of inspiration, even though his overall output has been relatively sparse. Listening here, it’s not hard to see how DeLoach made the jump from pop to house, considering the razor-sharp organization behind all his tracks. But compared to the dreamy bedroom jams he was writing just a few years ago, “Beat It with Chain” is a powerful musical statement that begs to be turned up. -Immersive Atlanta

Trashcan 3
trashcan is an experimental five-piece from Atlanta, Georgia. With not much of paper trail on the band’s history, it doesn’t seem like the group has been together too long or at least since March of this year at least. The band has been doing a few shows with Connecticut lo-fi studs Furnsss in recent months, with a few more coming up later this summer. At the moment, “ello” is the only recorded output from the band. The raw sludgy track recalls early Sonic Youth with the added brashness and volatility. The band states on their Bandcamp they “got shit faced and made this“, all in one take. It’s unhinged improvisation is met with sneering harmonics, concise hooks, and propulsive rhythms, all making it feel quite visceral.
