about
"As an outsider looking in, I’m always asking myself: Where does this music fit in the grand web of things? What secret history have I not been privy to for the past two years? With Matthew DeLoach, aka Mannequin Lover, parts of that map have been drawn; namely, that the shadowy beat maestro has been cranking out bleak electro sketches for the better part of the summer. But “Actor” opens up a new void in the territory, an out-of-body B-side experience where we witness DeLoach in his most vulnerable form yet, huddled in a corner and nursing old wounds. Granted, he’s teasing us a bit — just as the song begins to drift into focus on the scorned lover, he cuts the beat and asks an unknown other to stop, as he’s “getting bored.” This leaves us with an even more glaring blank than before. What’s real? Who’s pulling the plug? Is there really a bag of coke up for grabs? I suspect that DeLoach tugs at our sympathies like a puppet master here, drawing up a impenetrable façade to keep listeners at bay. Which is to say, I might not be the only one locked out of this secret backstory." – Lee Adcock
