#921 Wampire - Curiosity

Here it is, the natural conclusion of the decade's revivalism: an album that deals in swirling psychedelia revivalism (see Tame Impala, Alt-J, et al), AND wistful 80's synthpop revivalism (see Twin Shadow, Cut Copy, et al et cetera.).

The album goes down smooth, smearing reverbey washes over reverbey solos over reverbey beats, letting the whole thing bleed as watercolor nebular as its cover art. It's noisier and more adventurous than most of those namedrop victims, but nothing really sticks, leaving listeners with nostalgic daydream memories and a faint wellness that fades on waking 3/5
