Chad Matheny has made DIY electrofolk in the United States for upwards of a decade, but for the first time he's singing about America from another vantage. The Orlando Sentinel, an EP-turned-LP hybrid that he refers to as a DJ set of his own b-sides, marks his first album release as Emperor X since he moved to Berlin on an artist's visa. Though he's loving Germany—he doesn't drive and found America's car culture suffocating—Matheny still sings through a lens unique to his homeland. This is a guy who writes catchy pop songs about filling out Medicaid forms. He imbues some of the most soul-sucking American rituals with a rare humor and warmth.
