Self, Love You Less

posted November 7, 2024 #

I've been listening to Self since, approximately, 1995 when their debut record Subliminal Plastic Motives was released. They haven't really released any new material since 2015's "Monogamy" single. That nine year gap is pretty grueling for a fan but, fortunately, frontman Matt Mahaffey makes plenty of other music with his production company Cake in Space. Not to mention that other members of the band make great music.

Anyway, that's big wordy intro to note that Self has broken the seal and released new music. "Love You Less" is streaming on all the things. It's a far cry from the sound of the band that emerged 30 years ago with SPM but it's an enjoyable evolution. Hopefully this is the first slow drop of more new music. Time will tell.

I have also been a big fan since ‘95, and when I saw “Love You Less” pop up on my streaming service’s suggested list, my jaw dropped. Personally, I absolutely loved every second of it on first listen, literally smiling ear to ear the whole time. Matt’s playfully devastating lyrics, uniquely masterful melodies, and joyfully explosive production (those drums!) are all intact. This is unmistakably sElf. I want a full album badly. This morning, I’m on the hunt for more info, and it led me here! Have a great day.
