This album uses sample-as-motif to guide you through Soft Replica's world, with a dreamy climactic finale. One of if not the best Vaporwave release of 2022.
DREAMCASTLE constructs a musical journey through the floating islands that live somewhere in our collective unconscious. Their brand of nostalgia and its relation to Vaporwave clicks with me.
This album really captures the nowhere sounds of the early 2000s with its blackberry commercial samples and hold-music stylings, broken up with meditative tracks for empty places.
