a really strange party album

can't find it on bandcamp but this is a little wiggly delight: https://www.discogs.com/release/21891046-Silicon-Scally-Field-Lines

New Fievel Is Glauque EP, sounding mighty fine four songs in. Higher-fi than the full-length + Wings cover!

^^ liking that a lot

not sure which genre in the thread title this fits in, maybe dariacore?

Any thoughts on the new Bladee/Ecco2k album Crest? I'm loving it--ethereal electro-dream-pop sprinkled with a truckload of aural fairy dust.

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

I feel like I've seen Bladee/Drain Gang get some hate around these parts, but I've been pretty deep into the stuff for a minute. For me the weakest part of their music is the limited-range singsong nature of the melodies, but there's something I find really moving and engaging about the aesthetic in general. Bladee's EXETER is a good place to start if you're unfamiliar--gorgeous minimal production, super concise.

bladee is a guy whose creativity i respect but whose, for lack of a better term, wimpy-ass vocals make it hard for me to listen for extended periods. i did dig 2020's 333 album a bit, and i'm a massive fan of drain gang producer gud's output in general.

the above song isn't really speaking to me, i'm afraid.

Yeah I feel you, his vocals are definitely love-it-or-hate-it. EXETER is an all-Gud production, which might be why it stands out above most of his other stuff for me.

enjoyed it but much prefer the ecco stuff I've heard before

i really liked gud's collab ep with rx papi from last year and wish he'd work outside the drain gang a bit more often

Hadn't heard that Rx Papi/Gud ep, checking it out now. Contrast of aggro bars + chill ethereal beats is amazing. Thanks for the rec

Very glad I noticed Fievel Is Glauque playing tomorrow night 3/31 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The venue address is by request, was able to get it from Zach Phillips. If you're around and want to go you can webmail me for it or reach out to Zach directly

Sorry to clog up the thread with so much ZP content, just think he's doing great things these days lol

Ohhh the new Fievel Is Glauque EP is indeed a delight!!

any chat about the vitesse x album?

ZP is also a poet, this was just released: https://www.gauss-pdf.com/post/678701135391014912/gpdf298gpdfe055-zach-phillips-human-light

^HIS MIND

New Death's Dynamic Shroud is very pop. Not sure if it's James or Tech singing, but it's pretty good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qUUF9kyztI

Aaaaahhh they're moving onto PHASE TWO

ooh that's pretty good, looking forward to more where that came from

yeh really dig this

love this new Brainwaltzera album

hey flopson! ... could be some point in my personal timeline when i stopped paying attention or my relationship to contemporary music changed? ... before I turned 35 ... which reminds me of that haunting post by Lamp about hipsters and how if you are a hipster and 35+ you have to have serious substance abuse issues

― sarahell

for the record it doesn't _have_ to be serious substance abuse issues, it just has to be something that fucks you up really really bad for a very long period of time.

That's fun, but mostly in the late-90s nostalgia sense— I understand the appeal, obviously, but it's not doing enough that's different to really stand out for me.

been listening to this all morning, tremendous record imo, lovely dreamy vapourrave

It's kind of what I wanted from the last CFCF album

https://underwater-computing.bandcamp.com/album/phantasm

Underwater calm, sunlight streaming in from above

New Neggy Gemmy is fun but not on the level of her best stuff (e.g. "Bad Baby," "You Never Knew," "You Weren't There Anymore"... Still have high hopes for the album tho

the Vitesse X album is pretty dope, maybe it doesn't quite live up to its best moments (especially the first track which is just a total dream) but I think it does a great job capturing the vibe of a certain era without sounding like a straight throwback

re: Neggy Gemmy, I really do not like the name change but she's on a similar level. a bit darker and edgier perhaps. I'll always love her for sampling Tim & Eric's "Raz" on "No Rum"

speaking of Death's Dynamic Shroud I just started listening to their live album and it's super good. kinda distills everything great about them. been enjoying some of the recent stuff too (Faith in Persona & Transcendence Bot), I think the new one is gonna rule

Oh yeah Live From Japan is amazing. Especially track 5, the one that samples/vaporizes Taeko Ohnuki

This was a cool dds live set too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysptCu15Itg

damn, that's great too. very cool how the live versions of their studio tracks are very different, a lotta vaporwave artists don't do that

https://databurst.bandcamp.com/track/d-e-e-p-t-i-s-s-u-e

surprised to see no discussion of dazegxd on here. his new album vkiss is a blissed-out mix of hyperpop and plugg, with a prevailing aesthetic that borrows a good deal from the best parts of cheesy 90s eurodance

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

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

sounding intriguing, will give the album a bash, even if all of that kind of makes it magdalena bay lite

there's no rock in there, so i'd say it's pretty distinct from mag bay even if they do draw from similar aesthetic inspirations

Yet another hit from DDS. Getting more of a prog vibe from this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azB_8kjIUuw

wow that's incredible, hope there's an album on the way that'll include all of the singles from this year

omg go off dds

this feels like the lansing-dreiden software update we didn't know we needed, so sick

this is good as hell

now that is how you drop a beat

I've been so impressed with these guys lately. not just the new stuff but exploring the back catalogue as well. my local shop had one of their 2014 albums called Virtual Utopia Experience and I found it to be very nice and completely unclassifiable. like total spacey dreamland music but there's a lot of acoustic guitar picking in it?? idk if the people here will dig it but it hit me in such a strange way

anyway, new album is gonna rule and I hope it sells a ton

my favourite from their back catalogue is heavy black heart which is probably the peak of vaporwave as a genre, though they put out a ridiculous amount of material exclusively via their mixtape club which i haven't kept up with at all

yea it's great and I hope it gets a reissue soon

idk how many people can really keep up with the mixtape stuff but Faith in Persona is particularly good. I mean really it's just Keith Rankin solo and spiritually it should be considered the next Giant Claw album but I think they just do everything through the dds umbrella now. whatever. it's great. Transcendence Bot is also great if you like head-in-the-clouds dds

faith in persona is one that actually did get a wider release but i need to go back to it because it didn't stick with me at the time

Hm, this doesn't do it for me at all.

why does the new death's dynamic shroud sound like Muse?

Specifically talking about Keys To The Gate. I didn't even realize they had several other new ones out until I looked at this thread.

They released three LPs on the same day a few weeks ago

pretty nice they're still keeping up the insane release schedule despite their music becoming less sample-based

that said they've kind of got a weird dynamic going on where "death's dynamic shroud" is more an umbrella term for anything the three members do, in fact I think of their 50+ albums only maybe 3 or 4 of them have actually been actively worked on by all three. it would be like if everything the members of YMO did was released under the name "Yellow Magic Orchestra". still pretty amazing consistency from them, I don't think there's a single dds release I've actually disliked

why does the new death's dynamic shroud sound like Muse?

omg sick, I will hear it tomorrow

listening to it and i don't really hear the muse

so I guess discussion of the new Claire Rousay belongs in this thread? I don't know where else I could post about it

finding it rather underwhelming
