i know everybody else has already forgotten abt it but can we have one chillwave thread that isnt entirely ¡LOLwave! or w/e

also i dont think we've mentioned real estate so far

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

a few days late, but this is the omd proto-chillwave tune

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob6CJLrirks

Games, a duo consisting of a dude from Tigercity and the Oneohtrix dude, a supergroup among chillwaves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bd1RhWNOIo

those are both awesome. hadnt heard of games.

this track is awesome too, I love that staccato part at around 1:40

I can't embed this, but make an effort and click the link, I like the song very much: http://softpowers.bandcamp.com/track/strawberry-soup

that games track/vid is really rad & i usually h8 the oneohtrix dude

also i dont think we've mentioned real estate so far

saw them when they were playing w/woods & didnt really vibe them...

loooove these guys, apaz they're really young or something

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.

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

i like it but it works better on a track by track basis, as an "album" it's wayyy to samey

too

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.

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"

well im glad i didn't post that coil track that i was all "proto chillwave" abt y/day itt

now that we have the chill-police on our backs

looooool is it this one?????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yipzvcbW9WI

i've prolly heard the wrong tracks but coil seem about as unchill as it gets

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAKKoQUsXXM

lamp that one you posted is so great btw!

yah plax the whole musick to listen to in the dark disc is really good! v proto-chillwave imo

another proto chillwaver

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn_tGoy3Cdw

and even moreso on this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqJpSwii0hE

'81 and '86 (i think) respectively

otm

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.

hope the chill-police won't get after me for posting this unorthodox piece of chillwave

oh, and I really dig that Outer Limits Recording tune, sounds like Daft Punk trapped in your basement

i hated beautiful swimmers until i started thinking of them as chillwave and i really like them in that context!

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?

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

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.

from my friends fb

"so chillwave is basically badly recorded dreamy synth-pop" ?

u should link him to this thread unless he is a db

yah plax the whole musick to listen to in the dark disc is really good! v proto-chillwave imo

also i dled this on ur rec. and also i always want to listen to more coil and otfm! title of this album is otm too.

btw this is the best toro y moi track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LfKBP7Q_PM

well Blessa is arguably the most chill of his tracks
if 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=RHqW2EPTcmE
he made so many great tracks anyway

this thread is v cool guys, i dig it.

Any full album recs more along the electro side less on the guitary side?

a lot of the dancier chillwave stuff leans towards almost being space disco but:

blondes "touched" ep
active child "curtis lane" ep
hatchback "colors of the sun" (proto)
delorean "subiza"
com truise "cyanide sisters" ep

Thank you!

also if you can track down the label sampler by israeli label ak duck "3 years of"

blondes "touched" ep
hatchback "colors of the sun"

love both of these, did not occur to me to think of them as chillwave.

i wasnt sure whether i would get away w/ blondes before but i salute yr fearlessness lamp

label sampler by israeli label ak duck "3 years of"

i have this, don't remember where it came from and haven't listened to it. now i will!
