Chad Matheny is the one-man army behind Emperor X. Since he was a small lad he has been toying with cheap devices to capture the sounds that bounce around his head. This involved, at one stage, converting a Karaoke machine into a 1 track four-track with some success. Ah, the genius of it all, and if ‘Sfearion’ is anything to go by his talent could one day propel the Jacksonville native skywards with a lot more effectiveness than his attempts at flight using junkyard disposables alone. ‘Sfearion’ is a jerky piece of indiepop, similar to They Might Be Giants, that drafts the disparate noises created by guitars being played on high speed trains, drum machines powered by oversized batteries and his nasally afflicted vocals that conjure up an image of a long haired, bespeckled outcast who could soon have the world at his sandals.
