Saw Neon Indian on Wednesday night. I was impressed with the show. Tigercity opened for them, whom I enjoyed as well. The overlying theme of Neon Indian's show was - to the sound guy - "more computer, uh yeah, can we get some more computer, thanks."

Here's a couple pics.

toro y moi has to different sounds. one is like lo-fi garage pop and the other is the more electronic dreampop kind of stuff.

so, whatever floats your boat.

some of his older stuff is really awesome acoustic shit. can hook you up if you want.

phoenix's wolfgang amedeus phoenix & it's resulting popularity really paved the way for "chillwave" without directly influencing it, i think.

also, after listening to toro y moi & smoking a lot of pot, i now think everything i listen to is chillwave.
