blessa is so fucking awesome. and minors kind of makes me feel like im moving in slow motion. im impressed by toro's first two tracks.

[gfunkdocta 702,984]

^ there's like 3 versions of blessa now

i liked the ep version best, if it matters

[chchchip 232,908]

^ i agree. there's also different versions of talamak. which version do you like better? i think i kind of like the ep version better. its close though.

[gfunkdocta 702,984]

new talamak no doubt

that's what blew it up for him

[chchchip 232,908]

word thats true.

ricky martin twittered about washed out. talkin about feel it all around was a cool summer jam. haha

[alexryb 70,853]

can we not lump fucking animal collective in this shit. god I'm so sick and fucking tired of seeing this shit band everywhere. How can their collection of sounds be classified as this?

apparently, animal collective is "proto-chillwave"

lol

[debaser 5,725]

any love for ducktails or gary war?

[yea! 176,308]

gary war is wild, damn.

does toro y moi's track "you hid" sample aphex twin - windowlicker? it's subtle as hell, had to rewind a few times. the breathe "uhhhhhh".

Damn it's really good, can't say it's the best i've heard from 2010 though, lindstrom's new album with christabelle is fantastic.

realllly feeling this release. think it was on waffles you said it sounded like MJ... i definitely agree, especially on Keep It Up.

[Magsåvningsreserven 1,750,355]

now that you say it, I can definitely see what you're saying

for me though, it's that track, 'Baby Can't Stop', it sounds a lot like Wanna Be Startin Something to me haha.

[tsxser 26,612]

I just now got the Washed out EP w/ Feel It All Around... wow Im obsessed. Stuff is insanely good. Anyone can post a link with a working Memory Tapes torrent, or something related? Thanks!

[premiumsqueezed 69,218]

Toro Y Moi's cover of Master of None was aite. Somehow he found middle ground between Victoria Legrand and dude from Hot Chip. I prefer the original though.

That said, Causers Of This is the shit.

^ i agree. there's also different versions of talamak. which version do you like better? i think i kind of like the ep version better. its close though.

def the ep version. i also prefer the ep version of blessa, too.

anyway.. toro's new album is solid. Thanks vision (track 6) has some of the dopest side-chaining i've ever heard. im very impressed with his synthesizing, too. dudes talented

Yuupp, just got the new Toro album too. Listened, and enjoyed the whole thing last night.

[chchchip 232,908]

yeah i like the new toro album a lot. i'm going to see his other band the hiest and the accomplice tonight. its nothing like toro.

tsxsre i think a couple pages back theres a link to all of memory tapes stuff if you still need it.

[alexryb 70,853]

nuttin like a bowl & sum toro.

"thanks vision" is my favorite currently.

zola jesus of madison is someone to watch. she's been around for a bit, but fits pretty close to what chillwave/glo-fi/bro-fi/dreambeat/hypnagogic pop is going for.

i like the concept behind what chillwave is suppose to be more than most of the music itself. what do you guys think the future of this "genre" holds? is it a fad or will it continue to progress & establish itself as a legitimate term?

i, personally, have a really hard time taking any of the titles seriously. and while genres have little to do with what i listen to, it's interesting to watch this, the first truly interesting american "genre" to emerge in a long time.

[chchchip 232,908]

i think it will probably fade out and just be a nostalgic summer 2009 thing. so these guys better ride the wave while they can. but hey who knows ill probably be wrong.

[alexryb 70,853]

i almost agree. memory tapes dude has staying power, i'd definitely argue that much.

but yeah, summer oh nine was all about this sound for me, at least. it's actually difficult to listen to a majority of this stuff now that the weather is getting colder.

[chchchip 232,908]

yeah exactly. it's just all summer vibes.

i agree about memory tapes. hes so awesome.

[kuhhlowe 11,177]

toro y moi is all over this thread

so I just went a had a listen..

i like this very much.

I've been getting super into Passion Pit lately.. soo good..

[american_hearts 523,909]

if you need something to transition from summer-wave dream beats 09 into f/w cold hibernation, former ghosts makes a lot of sense right now, ESPECIALLY if you're already into zola jesus.

[chchchip 232,908]

passion pit is okay. the only songs i can really get into by them is sleepyhead and cuddle fuddle maybe? not sure i just know i liked two of them. other than that his voice kind of annoys me.

du, saw former ghost about a month ago. great show, although zola wasn't there. i can't wait for their next album to drop, it's gonna have "new orleans" on it, which they've been performing live. great growth there.

i kinda see crystal castles as a darker, more winter-friendly version of this chillwave business.

passion pit... no thank you.

[american_hearts 523,909]

the fuck is passion pit doing in these talks?

[chchchip 232,908]

i aint know.

[debaser 5,725]

i thought Zola Jesus was always touted as being the biggest figure in the whole crimsonwave/lo-fi goth movement, never heard of her referred to as chillwave/glo-fi before although both genres started emerging around the same time and almost in the same manner

[alexryb 70,853]

as far as trends or what-have-you's go, i've never heard of crimsonwave before. linkage that's hopefully not from hipster-runoff?

[alexryb 70,853]

wait, fuck. that's a joke

EDIT: it's not a joke- sorry, mayne.

[chchchip 232,908]

toro y moi and neon indian are playing in nyc the 15th at the mercury lounge. anyone going?

[american_hearts 523,909]

where are you seeing that toro is on that show? i had no idea -- doesn't matter, it's sold out now, but fuck.
