Electronic act Matte Black releases new single, plans Depeche Mode cover as next single
The San Diego CA. based band Matte Black has a new single out, “Pure”. The track was written during the global-wide shutdown due to Covid-19 and features fast-paced beats, dark melodies and dito vocals.
The three-piece consiting of Alex Gonzales, Bidi Cobra and Daniel Corrales are prepping a debut album, “I’m Waving, Not Drowning”, set for release this fall following their forthcoming singles “Pure”, and their rendition of “Stripped” from Depeche Mode.
Here’s “Pure”.
Side-Line also covered Depeche Mode’s ‘Tower Of Strength’.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
