Okay.
So, on & off, I’ve spent over two weeks non-stop with this tape,
because…well, I know it’s good, but I’ve been having a hard time figuring out
WHY exactly. There are no memorable hooks by way of vocals or riffs, but the
movement of moods conjured up have continued to captivate me.
Chicken-scratched
notes I’ve taken include:
Akron/Family,
dreamy, ambient, beach boi, 007, minimal surf-rock vibe, lost in a circus?, the
Residents?, lo-fi dance-y now? Now?!, newfuckingORDERNOW?!!!, 90’s black metal
intros/outros…with chants, Jerry Garcia’s slow-motion, meandering guitar.
And
that was side one, alone. Side two starts off with Ride and Broken Social Scene
aesthetics on the first two tracks alone. This is a Nu New Wave Mixtape for the
Masses, for sure.
