Rad Reviews: Memory Tapes - Grace/Confusion

This is modern electronic music.  People call it chillwave, but it brings back sounds from the early to mid-90's as bands like Washed Out, Onuinu, and the Memory Tapes venture into the fuzzy low-fi soundscapes of past decades.  The light echo'ed vocals outshine the drum machine bass line with a string section making "Neighborhood Watch" a dreamy textured gem.  The first single "Sheila" (released way back in April of 2012) sounds eerily like Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti with a harder dancier bass line.

The album doesn't add much to the electronic music canon, but it's an enjoyable listen.

6.5/10
