I hate genre names these days, it always feels so desperate, clutching onto something new because you don’t want to be drowned by the decline of ‘sex-wave’.. ANYWHO, today not am I only jumping on the bandwagon with coining such said genres but I’m creating my own. Macintosh Plus have been in my ears for a few weeks now, you can listen to their album via the Beer On The Rug Bandcamp page. Their track ‘リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュータ’ to epitomises everything that ‘Slow-Jam’ should be. The beautifully steady tempo, the waves of analogue layers all topped with the smoothest of vocals. Another track of theirs ‘花の専門店’ is what I can only describe as ‘Skip-hop’ (sorry I know).. but the tracks jumps and builds with short bursts of continuous music before skipping again.. its frustrating yet satisfying when the track finally comes through.
Compliments to Rose Quartz for this one.
