Matte Blvck announce new single for May 31st, ‘Pupula Duplex’

The LatinX San Diego based industrial/darkwave trio Matte Blvck will have a new single out on May 31st, “Pupula Duplex”. In this track Matte Blvck draws inspiration from the 90s’ big beat’ era acts like The Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, and The Prodigy updated with a modern, aggressive production.

The song is off of their upcoming album “Vows”. “Vows” is about the trio’s continuing creatively despite inner band turmoil and personal hardships including member health issues and loss of loved ones while keeping their friendship of 27 years as a band intact.

Matte Blvck collaborated with a 3-piece production team alongside Aaron Short and Matt Mcjunkins on various occasions throughout the album.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
