Matthew Dear Returns With New Single 'Dizzy' on Ghostly

Matthew Dear has released a new single called 'Dizzy', through the label Ghostly. Pitchfork reported the release on 11 November 2026.

Dear wrote, produced and performed the track himself. Scott Lake mixed and mastered it at Subterranean Sound Studios. Mixing balances the separate sounds of a song into one finished recording, and mastering is the final polish that prepares it for release on streaming services and other platforms.

'Dizzy' follows two earlier tracks, 'New Drug' and 'Head in the Clouds', which came out through the French label Salon. Those two songs were Dear's first new music since 'Talking Sleep', released in 2022. Together, the three singles mark a run of new material after a gap of several years.

Dear's older work includes the album 'Bunny', released in 2018. He has also put out records from the past that had sat unheard for years. In 2021 he released 'Preacher's Sigh & Potion', an album he had shelved in 2008, more than a decade before it reached listeners.

For listeners, the practical news is simple. A new Matthew Dear song is out now, written and performed by him, and it is available to hear on the same streaming services that carry his other recordings.

Singles like 'Dizzy' are often the first step in a longer release plan, though no album or tour has been announced. Anyone following the Ghostly catalogue, or Dear's own releases, can keep an eye on label announcements for what comes next.
