MatAre, the captivating solo project from the USA, unveils “Dissolution.” This mesmerizing retro New-Wave / Post Punk single delves deep into the unraveling of what was once a solid foundation—be it a relationship, a belief, or one’s very sense of self. Rather than portraying a dramatic collapse, it beautifully captures the tender, gradual fade that often marks the conclusion of such profound connections.

Hailing from the city of Atlanta, USA, MatAre is a breathtaking solo project from the creative mind of Matt Rousseau. Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing sounds of legendary acts like The Cure, Depeche Mode, and New Order, he crafts music built over melody-driven guitar work. The result? An enchanting New Wave sound that not only evokes a deep nostalgia but also transports listeners to a dream-like dimension.
“It was written during a period of reflection where I found myself thinking about how things don’t always end with clarity—they often just fade, shift, and lose their shape.” – MatAre
“Dissolution” instantly transported me to a realm reminiscent of the iconic sounds of Sisters of Mercy and The Cure. Its relentless beat compelled my foot to dance with fervor, whisking me away to a glorious bygone era where Goth and New Wave music reigned supreme. The sheer intensity of MatAre’s new single is nothing short of exhilarating.
Its deeply introspective lyricism powerfully evokes the haunting, slow-paced disintegration of something once cherished, a reality so gradual that it slips through your fingers unnoticed, leaving you grasping at shadows long after it has vanished.
Most of the instrumentation was masterfully performed and recorded by Rousseau himself, but it is the electrifying drum performance by the extraordinary South African drummer, Glenn Welman, that truly breathes life into this track, driving it forward with a steady, relentless, and rock-solid groove.
Inspired by the simplicity and essence of Disco, “Dissolution” focuses on the chorus, shaping an idea that resonates both intimately and emotionally. You don’t want to miss it!
