Album Review: Matthewdavid - In My World

The old saying 'it's a jungle out there' may be true, but the outside world has nothing on the labyrinthine and solipsistic mess of In My World. While the experimental song structures played with in the Atlanta producer's latest release are admirable, they come at the sacrifice of any sense of progression. Matthewdavid (aka Matthew McQueen) sings, but neither his lyrics nor his singing bring any life to this alienating collection. The instrumentals House Of Horus and West Coast Jungle Juke are the only moments McQueen immerses you in his hazy world. A disorienting and unrewarding listen.
