treeship, i don't know, i didn't get a chillwave vibe from that gypsy and the cat tune, apart from the treatment of the vocals maaaaybe, just seemed to have that same peter hook new order sound that is like the main fucking hallmark of most generic indie pop/rock imo

i always thought g&tc were on some anodyne washed-out new order/fleetwood mac thing but i've only ever heard them in the dentists office

yeah, i think "anodyne washed-out new order/fleetwood mac" is a good description for most mass market chillwave. there were a few great chillwave acts but there was also a flood of generic "chill" acts -- both synth and guitar-oriented -- and i think those are also part of the movement. i heard this g&tc song for the first time at shake shack.

ha i didn't realize that the beach boys' "all i wanna do" is considered proto-chillwave.

Always thought this was proto-chillwave too. "Magic" by Mick Smiley, from the original Ghostbusters movie.

that beach boys thing really is kinda amazing. i haven't listened to that album for years.

it sounds like a new cass mccombs single! i mean even that hazy production is so perfect.

I've often thought of Feel Flows as also being Proto-Chillwave, but it might be closer to Proto-Hypangogic Pop.
Meanwhile, on Wikipedia...
