“NIN and Wu-Tang are an unlikely combination, but the blend works wonders, giving the new single a dark, industrial sense of drama, as Bent cooly depicts a painful breakup with poise and subtle sincerity.”  

Hear the new Matthew Chaim single as part of Howl & Echoes new “Breakthrough Fridays” playlist.

Listen to “Vanilla Ways” at the link!

“Alex Bent + the Emptiness samples Wu Tang Clan, Nine Inch Nails, and The Princess Bride on his new single “Run Like Hell” and makes it all sound natural, so obvious and familiar, and yet completely impossible to pigeon-hole.”

“Burn in hell, Burritoville.” The Dirty Nil never forget.

“The track combines vintage beats, darkly hypnotic modern arrangements and ultra-confident vocals. With its extreme pop appeal it has immediately captured my attention and with that dope bass line I’m sure is going to find a comfortable sit on the list of your favorites.”
