Album Notes & Community Reviews

Another deeply bizarre tape release from the prolific American experimentalist, exploring the uncanny aesthetics of 1980s new age and synthetic exotica. Using cheap drum machines, pitch-shifted vocals, and heavy tape delay, Ferraro constructs a disorienting, virtual-reality resort atmosphere. It serves as a prime example of his pioneering work within the hypnagogic pop and early vaporwave movements.
