"The hyper-chromatic music of Matt Cutler marks him out as a trueimpressionist; as Lone, he drizzles brightly coloured melody throughhis tracks with all the reflexive skill of a master painter daubing inksand pigment across paper. On Cutler's fifth Lone album, RealityTesting, released on R&S, he sends notes and chords ripplingdelicately into space before allowing them to disperse, each oozingbeautifully away into the background fabric of the music. Combinedwith rhythms that ebb and flow, shifting from propulsive clubconstructions to beatific coastal hip-hop, it's a sensuous, immersive,heady experience, and easily his most accomplished and selfcontainedwork to date."
