Genre: Chillhop

Rating: 5/5

released on bandcamp October 2, 2021

I’ve been listening to this on shuffle and the same thought keeps coming back to me: Is it really this consistently fantastic?

It’s just one home run after another. I wasn’t really thinking chillhop until I saw the tag. The closest relative in terms of style and quality is Boards of Canada I was thinking.

Now I’m thinking there’s a small school of artists I’ve reviewed on here that I rank like this: Behind Clouds https://birdboyblizzard.music.blog/2021/09/28/behind-clouds/ and C Y G N https://birdboyblizzard.music.blog/2021/09/09/spacesuit-human-trilogy-by-c-y-g-n/

These songs are clever and coherent. Every song works independently and successfully creates the perfect chillhop mood and they also work to form a wonderfully cohesive record. This is AOTY list stuff.
