i taught my friend the word chillwave yesterday. he doesn't know anything about the 'scene' but he hangs out with this dude whose band is on mexican summer. for maximum lolz i told him to ask the guy if he want to go smoke a doob on the beach and listen to some chillwave

I would buy all of these musics.

also fun is hitting play on 7 or 8 of these at once.

Pearl Harbor are great. The ep on Mexican Summer is such a wonderful treat. They recently changed their name to Puro Instinct, so be warned.

I really don't think Sun Araw is at all chillwave. Many xposts above.
― van smack, Thursday, 19 August 2010 23:30 (thirteen years ago) link
that track kind is but the whole not not fun aesthetic which i guess is kinda the fort thunder aesthetic feels like the springboard for chillwave more than 'actual chillwave'. mb 'weirder' and 'druggier' but not that far off, really, in the end.
okay looks like there isnt any high wolf shit on youtube but:

hey plax have u heard the beach fossils s/t? listening to it again right now & its v v pleasing
― chill.wav (Lamp), Friday, 20 August 2010 06:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i like it but it works better on a track by track basis, as an "album" it's wayyy to samey
― trade practices cat (electricsound), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:02 (thirteen years ago) link
too
― van smack, Thursday, August 19, 2010 11:30 PM (Yesterday)
btw this is not in the spirit of this thread. i think its important that chillwave means a lot of things, kinda prefer this end of it to the more straight up "indie in a windtunnel" aesthetic tho obv i like both. (see my above def. for what ~chillwave means to me~)
also wrt beach fossils, i dont think i've heard any of the stuff from the last few posts before. but that outer limits thing is pretty great.
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:08 (thirteen years ago) link
haha its kinda debatable whether beach fossils despite the misleading 'beach' are really all that chillwave & not just w/e were calling indie but i mean theyre songs are called shit like 'youth' and 'vacation' yknow?
& it does get a little same-y 11 tracks are probably too much but i really really like "daydream" and "youth"
― chill.wav (Lamp), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:16 (thirteen years ago) link
well im glad i didn't post that coil track that i was all "proto chillwave" abt y/day itt
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:21 (thirteen years ago) link
now that we have the chill-police on our backs
looooool is it this one?????

― chill.wav (Lamp), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:23 (thirteen years ago) link
i've prolly heard the wrong tracks but coil seem about as unchill as it gets
― trade practices cat (electricsound), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:23 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i mean coil area all bad vibes, but at the heart of it all is dreamy and woozy but in a heat stroke way i think.

lamp that one you posted is so great btw!
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:29 (thirteen years ago) link
yah plax the whole musick to listen to in the dark disc is really good! v proto-chillwave imo
― chill.wav (Lamp), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:36 (thirteen years ago) link

otm
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 07:40 (thirteen years ago) link
one thing about real estate that pisses me off is that drum sound that a lot of chillwave acts have but that they do the worst version of that i've heard.
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 09:10 (thirteen years ago) link
hope the chill-police won't get after me for posting this unorthodox piece of chillwavehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1bkFvWUM14
oh, and I really dig that Outer Limits Recording tune, sounds like Daft Punk trapped in your basement
― V79, Friday, 20 August 2010 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link
i hated beautiful swimmers until i started thinking of them as chillwave and i really like them in that context!
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
I have a feeling some of this stuff is not too far removed from the melodic old electronica I listen to all the time, like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GFZe-NYKBw
Any full album recs more along the electro side less on the guitary side?
― Count Scrofula (corey), Friday, 20 August 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i guess. dont forget. chillwave is a ~~vibe~~ there are no real rules.

^ feel free to throw me off yr beautiful thread, but this song has always been the indie Boys of Summer for me
― Chaim Poutine (NickB), Friday, 20 August 2010 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link
tbf i think lamp and i have done our best to keep this thread safe from the types that would throw ppl off it! also lol, 80s pop tunes badly ripped from blurry videos are like chillwave 101.
― plax (ico), Friday, 20 August 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
from my friends fb
"so chillwave is basically badly recorded dreamy synth-pop" ?
― oscar, Friday, 20 August 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link

well Blessa is arguably the most chill of his tracksif I had to choose the best, it would either be EDEN, Dead Pontoon (both posted way upthread) or Timed Pleasure:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHqW2EPTcmEhe made so many great tracks anyway
― V79, Saturday, 21 August 2010 21:03 (thirteen years ago) link
this thread is v cool guys, i dig it.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 21 August 2010 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link
a lot of the dancier chillwave stuff leans towards almost being space disco but:
blondes "touched" epactive child "curtis lane" ephatchback "colors of the sun" (proto)delorean "subiza"com truise "cyanide sisters" ep

Thank you!
― Count Scrofula (corey), Saturday, 21 August 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
also if you can track down the label sampler by israeli label ak duck "3 years of"
― plax (ico), Saturday, 21 August 2010 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link
blondes "touched" ephatchback "colors of the sun"
love both of these, did not occur to me to think of them as chillwave.
