Mat Clark's delay-doused debut single, My Man Syd, paid a kaleidoscopic ode to Syd Barrett and proved that quirky pop hooks are part and parcel of Mat Clark's psych-pop package by taking the sound that churned out of Manchester’s Factory Records to interstellar heights with trippy warped grooves and influence from conceptual art-rock artists in the same delicious vein as Pond and Parquet Courts.
“As a Mancunian that has heard the Manchester Factory Records sound revived to death, literally, My Man Syd gave it the kiss of life and passed on a pretty potent contact high.” Amelia Vandergast – A&R Factory
