THE "LET'S LISTEN" VAPORWAVE PODCAST. Vaporwave is an art aesthetic that embodies the anxiety, disillusionment, and nihilism of the modern world. In music form, vaporwave dives deep into these unconscious anxieties, manifesting sounds from past decades - warping them, manipulating them, and summoning the ghost of the good times that were promised by modern capitalism, but never came. Vaporwave is an expression of the pains of the collective modern unconscious, taking the form of heroin-level ...

Happy Halloween! This year Brandon and I take in the Halloween vibes with a strong classical vaporwave record by EPX90. Hallowave is a 2019 halloween vaporwave album that brings together all the spooky tropes of halloween and turns it into a plunderphonic-heavy vaporwave LP. The record plays like an unlabeled broken casette tape you may have found …

Fantasy. Temptation. Escape. Dreams are an unknown ancient realm that we move to and from every single day. Soft Replica's debut album "Only Ever In Dreams" is a synthesis of many styles: the hypnagogia of vaporwave, the everlasting echoes of dream-pop, and the blurred sonic blanket of shoegaze. Their sounds will envelope you in a warm electronic e…

Let's start off by saying this album is a masterpiece. Death's Dynamic Shroud is a vaporwave trio made of Keith Rankin (aka Giant Claw), James Webster (HCMJ), and Tech Honors. However, this album is a solo album by Keith Rankin under the Death's Dynamic Shroud project. "Transcendence Bot" is a masterful display of Keith's high-volume, intentional s…

Kawaii-desu! On this episode of The Virtual Ocean, we sail to the world of Mikazuki Bigwave's EP collection titled "She Is a Magical Girl". The collection of tracks is our first introduction to their music and reflects the fantasy and perfection of, well, an anime magic girl. It's a sound as pink and sweet as bubble gum, and even pulls us to muse u…

Lust is a sin that feigns its reward. In today's episode, we explore our first Macroblank album with their latest release "Dungeon of Lust." The album makes use pairing unlikely hard hitting samples from what appears to be medieval times and Hindustani music. The album is a subconscious foray exploring the emotions, psychology, and excitement of co…

Every now and then, we enjoy going back to "old" vaporwave albums to live in ambiance of that time. Space Magic is a vaporwave artist from the golden era of vaporwave (in our opinion, 2011-2015). His album 98 'Waves is a collection of nostalgic spaces from various locales, both physical and digital, fashioning a nostalgia that can only be as focuse…

Color Theory is a synthwave artist from Huntington Beach California with quite a discography to his name. His 12th LP, Mages, is an album that homages to the escapism of DnD, but also to the hardships, victories, and joys of life itself. It is a lyrically strong, honest, and tightly arranged 10 tracks that uses the nostalgic sounds of synthwave to …

To follow the short film that Brandon and I produced, check out @avelino.film on Instagram. In this episode, we recap our time at a …

When the internet came to the world, the world became much smaller. The power to gain information through technology gave many optimism for the future. If you were in elementary school school in the late 90s and the early 2000s, chances are you've experienced learning through software. Pangeapedia Plus by Daniel White takes the sound of what appear…

What does a perfect morning at an airport feel like? To those who are unaccustomed to travel, it sounds like an strange idea, and to those who are accustomed to travel, it's a straight up absurd idea. The airport is a space that has undergone some strange moments in the past year, and Russian vaporwave artist Bronston Bridge channels that wanderlus…
