whyetc - the boy who cried wolf (2016)

 This is a real solid package right here, and really it came out of the blue. whyetc to my knowledge has no bandcamp, and his soundcloud only has this album right here. So my guess is that this is a producer that rebranded themselves once they found their footing in Vaporwave.

 Now I’ve sat here and listened to this album about five times straight now, It’s not all that long so it wasn’t all that hard to do. I’m not quite sure why but I find it difficult to put my thoughts into words right now. I most definately without a doubt like what I’m hearing, I’m just having some writers block I suppose. I’ll try my best though, because I can easily recommend this little project.

 The music here feels distant, if that makes any sense at all. Not distant in the sense of most Vaporwave where nostalgia is a key idea, but more so distant in terms of emotion. This sounds like what it feels like to long for something….. I think. Also not a lot of sound here seems to be sampled, which is always really cool to here. Percussion is also beyond on point, which in my experience is fairly rare in Vaporwave. Every track just feels so dreamy and just makes you want to close your eyes. When I first saw the album cover I really wasn’t ready for what I got. They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, and although my whole life I’ve judged actual books by their covers, Vaporwave for some reason likes to prove me wrong.
