32. a perfect cone of ice cream to forget the world's problems: pop up's smooth (future funk episode)
Manage episode 264067001 series 2288313
The Virtual Ocean is the “Let’s Listen” vaporwave discovery podcast.
What is vaporwave?
Vaporwave is a music genre (and internet meme) that appropriates mood music from the past while presenting subtle takes on modern-day consumerist culture. The genre has drawn many passionate listeners with its powerful immersion, ambiguous commentaries, and the genre's unique ability to amalgamate with the memes created as its byproduct.
It's a genre with several subgenres that are extremely distinct from one another in sound and style; and yet evoke similar archetypal ideas that say, either explicitly or implicitly, a lot about the modern world.
It's also very, very, aesthetic.
In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up genre and give our thoughts, emotions, and commentary on them.
And now, for today’s episode.
With the world in a state of erupted chaos, and with our social media feeds constantly injecting the new civil war straight into our minds from the comfort of our beds, sometimes you just need something to a taste of some thing a little… smooth.
This week, we had the pleasure of listening to one of an insanely pleasing future funk albums from the Brazilian artist Pop Up!, part of the Business Casual vaporware label
This future funk album is indeed the sonic equivalent of a perfect vanilla ice cream cone on a hot day; giving you that concentrated euphoria you come to expect from the genre with some fantastic compositional twists.
And to be honest, there are a few tracks in this album that me and Brandon would consider genre best’s
The food aesthetic of the artist is also something I personally lov
You’ll have to listen to see what we mean.
Let’s set sail for Pop Up!’s silky cool album, Smooth.
