Archived entries for chillwave

Baths – Lovely Bloodflow

Baths is a 21 year-old beat-making prodigy from California. Normally, I wouldn’t mention the artist’s age – but this kid is younger than me, plus leagues beyond anyone I know in terms of musical talent. He does really amazing things with drum loops and the way his synths and samples sound. Great job, Baths!

Baths’s new record Cerulean is awesome and available here.

Neon Indian – 6669 (I Don’t Know If You Know)

It’s taken me a little while to digest Neon Indian’s Psychic Chasms (2009). This is strange, considering that the other two heavy-hitters riding the “chillwave”…wave were instant loves for me (them being Washed Out and Toro y Moi). That changed in the last week or so when this track really started resonating with me. Suddenly, the entire album made sense. Highly recommended listening.

Washed Out – Feel It All Around / New Theory

Two solid tracks from Washed Out (aka Ernest Greene). This guy’s been making beats from his bedroom for a while, but just recently started cranking out these dreamy, blunted synthpop tracks. His Life of Leisure EP has been in heavy rotation the past couple weeks.

Toro y Moi – Talamak

Legit mix from Toro Y Moi (aka Chaz Bundick). Stumbled across this one after hearing his remix of Washed Out’s Feel it All Around.
