Va – NewRetroWave – Crypt EP (2013)

-Wow, wow, let me stop you there, wow, new retro wave, but isn’t this hipster music?

Yup, you got a point there. The hipster audience, as is the case with fucking omar suleiman, embraced yet another “movement” or genre irrelevantly to the musical content, just because everybody else seemed to be doing it. But what if, what IF there is some musical worth in some of the hipster stuff being marketed nowadays (dirty beaches, lynch?, the dreams?) . Let’s find out.

There has been a recent resurgence of the 80’s electro soundscapes, and perhaps it is because that decade’s nerds have grown up to become the 30year old musicians of today. For 20 year old they were punks in a way or another, jamming out hard and fast, but naturally now they “nostalgia” (see what i did there?i used it as a verb) about their SEGA gaming teen and preteen <glorious> days and we end up with this delightful mix of great music to drive to or just get lost in. Plus, you know it as well as i do, the hipsters don’t have a clue how to dance gloomily shake their booties to dark minimal synth music, but goths have had 3 decades to practice this to perfection. These urban landscapes, simple and instantly recognizable drum machine patterns, severely dated synth presets and the occasional post-disco vocal found the way in our hearts somehow. ++++, this is their halloween special release for 2013. Who is they?  The new retro wave audience is centered around a great bandcamp account that’s rotating/giving away various free compilations, and slowly building what resembles a scene around it (RESPECT THE LOVE).  This year’s CRYPT ep features loveable spooky artworks and track themes as well as musics, since apparently we share the love for 8os italo horror with these guys. Give it a chance, it might give you a glimpse in your own past, or who knows a 1950’s retro future that never came (dystopia arrived in its place).
