TEX LA HOMA >

UK based singer / composer / producer Matt Shaw records, in one of his guises, as Tex La Homa, a name lifted from Canadian author Douglas Coupland’s 1991 novel Generation X. He released his first album last year in the UK and Japan in slightly differing versions, both called Dazzle Me With Transience.

The LP blends Shaw’s half-whispered vocals with polychrome distortion, heart-breakingly pretty melodies, lo-fi guitars and massive, low-frequency electronics to create a sequence of chilled-out, cinematic ballads.

'scarily lovely and the only tunes released this week with the power to stop time' > NME
'A beautifully understated, fragile affair. Bewitching and addictive.' > The Times
'Probably my favorite disc of 2002.' > Masstransfer
'Enormous' 9/10 record of the week.' > Soit dit en passant
'Dazzle Me With Transience feels complete.' > Splendidzine
