The visceral lead single ‘Dead Artform’ is an urgent dissection of the musical art form dripping in surreal imagery, knowing and pitch-black irony as Finucane extols “this is a dead artform/as dead as me”, as he marches deeper into a shadowy dystopia and AI techbros trying to asset strip the world
‘Dead Artform’ shakes your bones with squalling arcs of feedback, howling angular guitar lines laid thick with a reverberated tone make for a moorish and delectable sound throbbing with a bass line that bristles with intensity and purpose. Underscored by Barney Guy's propulsive rhythms, that fuel the music's forward momentum recalling Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) at his most elastic.

Finucane says his new album “marches still deeper into the neo-goth, post-punk darklands. But even in the shadows, the same primal human truths hold sway: jealousy, despair, redemption... And you. In the end, this album is about YOU.”

Based in Brighton, Matt Finucane’s career spans well over two decades in the dark underbelly of music. Finucane has released a string of vital albums and EPs over the last twenty years and more. A singular artist who has been compared to David Bowie, Mark E Smith and Lou Reed. He crafts a raw and introspective musical world – an atmospheric, angular and brooding sonic assault on the senses that burrows into his subconscious, excavating themes of alienation, introspection, and the darker corners of human experience.

His most recent release was the 2024 EP Bang Bang Exorcism on Eyeless Records - a lovely brick-red cassette of the finest forever chemicals. His upcoming album, Ruination (also on Eyeless), takes the angular, feedback-saturated energy one step weirder. He says he “doesn't want to be your friend. He doesn't care about smashing that Like button. He just wants to show you the power of unholy noise.”

“Really should be heard by many many people” – Louder Than War

“a singular artistic voice in a sea of sameness“ – Whisperin’ and Hollerin’

“The familiar is twisted and distorted. Music comes from the shadows. Sonic exploration in every sense“ – Plugged in Brighton

“Music runs through the core of the mysterious and ground breaking singer/songwriter/poet, Matt Finucane” – The Source
