“Sad React” is the latest from witty and enigmatic singer Chad Matheny and it’s a terrific example of what he does best; blending clever lyrics with extremely catchy, minimal yet complicated pop vibes. The subject this time is social media and the trials and tribulations of our reactions to it. It also has a giant fuck you ending, so be warned. Give it a listen, and if you’re hooked, as I was when I first discovered him, give some of his older stuff a listen. I particularly love “Allahu Akbar” (no it’s not a trap), “Erica Western Teleport” and the low-key epic “€30,000”.
