After more than a decade of writing and performing with indie pop act, The Tins, Mike Santillo is creating music under the new moniker, Matches Laces.
The project sees Santillo combining electronic and sci-fi leaning synths along with instrumentation to create a layered sound full of wonder and amazing possibilities, such as on its lead single, “Didn’t You Lie To Me?”
The track is featured on his 8-song self-titled debut EP, which will be released on August 23rd, 2024 on Admirable Traits Records. There are traces of his work with The Tins, but with an expansive reach and vibrant instrumentation that is full of colorful sonic textures but also a feeling of melancholia, with traces of Beck, Tame Impala and MGMT.
Enjoy a listen to “Didn’t You Lie to Me” now below and find the vinyl of the EP available to preorder here.
