Dear's third album proves a wealth of open-window micro pop fit for summer gusts and unexpected flints of lightning.
-
Dear puts his imprint on a variety of styles: a clip-clopping Spaghetti Western feel on 'Fleece on Brain,' poppy minimalist techno on 'Neighborhoods,' robo-funk on 'Shy,' gleaming New Wave on 'Pom Pom'--all rendered cohesive by elegant, immersive production.
-
The minimal or micro house found on Asa Breed seems narrowly focused to appeal to a very specialized audience. [Summer 2007, p.87]

[Anonymous]9"Deserter" is the best song of 2007. And the rest of the album's good too.
