Clive Tanaka y Su Orquesta - Jet Set Siempre No. 1 (2010)
A while back, someone bitched and moaned that I should stop posting lame shit, and cited Clive Tanaka as a suitably non-lame alternative. Well, I listened.
Clive's background is interesting, he allegedly practiced hikikomori or self-isolation for a long time. I guess that meant lots of time for music-making. It's chillwave, mostly in major keys, so happy-sounding and eclectic, kind of like Toro Y Moi but without all the singing. The album title and art are pretty telling, as these are definitely warm weather, easy-living sounds.
Democracy, friends.
Is jc still dead? ;) Suitable indeed.
so good
