rolling twenty-something RYM/internet stuff like hyperpop, hypnagogic pop, hexD, vaporwave, dungeon synth, cloud rap, nightcore, black midi, future funk, dariacore, seapunk, blown out anime voices, br

wasn't sure whether to post these here or in the afropop thread but jim legxacy is really onto something & i love that he's making the emo/afrobeats guitar connection

representing my borough of origin too. uniting all the rollings

wow, that is dope

these are cool and it really is good-weird to see all the locations from my suburban childhood cropping up

afropop x post-rockish midwest emo idk x modish chillwave x pure Lewisham vibes, a brew considerably more intriguing than a lot of adjacent fare

this Jim Legxacy stuff is amazing

LJ/Tangenttangent: "Freight Yard" by The Garden is stone cold fucking great. Are their albums along the same line?

answering my own question: Horseshit on Route 66 is almost entirely a jam

oh hello! haha yeah it's a good album, tt even more into it than I am. Freight Yard is massive!!

i don't think i like anything quite as much as "Freight Yard" but most of the album is very good!

(perhaps not entirely on the same page, but i greatly prefer this to what gecs is putting out these days)

gecs seems to have fallen off a bit idk, let's see

I’m not big into chiptune or future funk but this seems related to the above and is a good album in its own right :

yeah that's dope

both these are so fun

was gonna nom the former but its 2021

yeah digging the Virtual Girls Band as well, I remember searching pretty hard for this sort of sound like 15 years ago

Can I plug my Chaka khan vaporwave album here?
https://ncxkd.bandcamp.com/album/chakawave-ep

link isn't working

the Vitesse X album is quite a bit stranger than I remembered. kinda has this music from the other side of the wall vibe to it. 100% Electronica is putting out a lot of really cool records like this, where they're 90s throwbacks but in a "this is what music in 2023 might've sounded like in an alternate timeline" kind of way.

IDK what hyperpop is anymore, but enjoying Trust Fund Ozu.

Three new Death’s Dynamic Shroud albums released today. I can’t keep up with all this, but I’ll try.

you'll try.......living like this?

two of them are remakes of previous fanclub-only albums apparently. i'm seeing people on rym compare one to the blue nile (???) so i will check that one out at least

it sounds like Midnight Tangerine and Keys to the Gate were both essentially remade from scratch, though I haven't heard the originals. I have heard Transcendence Bot though and it's great. I think that one is just being released as-is.

i finally got around to listening to a Rebzyyx comp a friend made, it's good stuff but there's also a lot of weird drama regarding impersonators and stuff and damn the Internet is fucked up, you know?

OK so WTF is this "Denpa" shit, anyway? Like hikikomori hyperpop that's obsessed with moe... like 4chan people but cisgender? Or something? It seems, like... adjacent to this thread. Somehow.

Anyway it sounds good but it also sounds like the dialectic is maybe kind of fucked? I don't know.

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
