SLANDER unleash their 4th collaboration with the super talented Dylan Matthew. Over the years, they have been dropping productions ranging from cinematic and melodic to bone-jarring and foot-stomping, always with a common thread of sophisticated soundscapes and captivating energy. This new release follows SLANDER and Dylan Matthew’s earlier collaborations – 2017’s “Without You” (released on Monstercat) and 2018’s “Hate Being Alone” and “First Time” with Seven Lions & Dabin (released on Ophelia). 

 

SLANDER trade hard-hitting basslines for melodic dubstep vibes and emotive vocals on their fourth collaboration with Dylan Matthew, “Love is Gone,” on NGHTMRE & SLANDER’s label Gud Vibrations. The talented duo weaves cinematic chords and delicate piano keys with exquisite instrumental melodies through the majority of the track, serving as a backdrop to Matthew’s raw and emotional vocal performance. In a departure from festival anthems and a testament to SLANDER’s dynamic abilities as producers, “Love is Gone” is very much a heartbreak track, but one that lifts listeners from the doldrums into the realms of catharsis.

“Love is Gone” is their biggest endeavor to date and it creates a new universe for SLANDER’s fans. The accompanying music video has been in the works for the past 3 years, took 3 months to render/finalize and is entirely comprised of movie level CGI. The video captures the song’s wistful and lost ethos with vibrant visuals of both space and faraway lands, catapulting the viewer into the inspiration in SLANDER and Matthew’s heads.
