Warm analog synths and bit-crushed rhythms create a nostalgic sanctuary. A masterclass in chillwave that feels like a faded polaroid of a digital sunset.
February 26, 2016 · Not On Label (HOME (18) Self-Released)
Falling Into Place is a quintessential artifact of the mid-2010s synthwave movement, yet it transcends the genre's often-cheesy tropes by leaning into a deeply personal sense of nostalgia. The album sounds like a memory of a decade you never lived through, filtered through the warm hiss of a well-worn cassette tape. Every synth lead feels tactile and organic, warbling with a slight pitch instability that suggests hardware oscillators breathing in a dimly lit bedroom studio. It is music that occupies the liminal spaces of life: the quiet hours of a commute, the focused silence of a late-night project, or the stillness of a sunrise.
