Vaporwave remembered as a summer resort

Summer Paradise by architecture in tokyo covert art

There were no warning signs when The Avalanches turned turntablism into a cocktail-on-the-beach VIP access card to a Club Med disco of ocean waves and surf in Since I Left You. Let alone all the late ’60s good vibrations. Years later — on a very selfish fast-forward of years — we parasailed along the low tides of Washed Out, Air France, and jj (it was their name back then in case you were born yesterday). Now that the ice rink has taken form, a beach mixtape of all that recorded joy comes into light. But this time it calms you down to the surface of mallsoft and plunderphonics. We have come a long way, honey! We have swum the Atlantic from the shores of “I Get Around” to an anti-capitalist textured nu-disco beach music of architecture in tokyo (yes, all in lower-case or we have no right to post this.)

Via Business Casual, you could get both Summer Paradise by architecture in tokyo and [夏日] by マクロスMACROSS 82–99 in one tape. But now that they are sold out, how about quenching our thirst by streaming the longest and most chilling bite of one of them. Not much more we can do now that the snow storms are nigh.
