AOTW | 30 April – 6 May: death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – DERELICTメガタワー

In the album article for DERELICTメガタワー, we at Sunbleach affectionately nickname it “The Behemoth” – and it wears that name well. DERELICTメガタワー is four-hours, eight-four tracks of vaporwave music that felt like being hit by a brick wall (as in, the brick wall was coming to you, not you at it) upon release in 2014. Not before in vaporwave had […]

death’s dynamic shroud.wmv has returned with a new album on Orange Milk Records, which released CLASSROOM SEXXTAPE by the vaporwave collective last year. Heavy Black Heart is a ten-track album of self-referential vaporwave and vaporhop music, with quite a few ECCOJAMS-styled parts as well. Fans of 2015’s I’ll Try Living Like This will definitely enjoy this album, as it’s the […]

death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – DERELICTメガタワー

Recommendation: ☀☀☁ DERELICTメガタワー1 – a.k.a. “The Behemoth” – is a four-hour, 84-track set of vaporwave music from death’s dynamic shroud.wmv (hereafter “dds.wmv”), a semi-collective of artists who collaborate and work solo under the dds.wmv name. One of the longest releases in mainstream vaporwave (insofar as something like that even exists), DERELICTメガタワー is the crown jewel to dds.wmv’s NUWRLD series of […]

AOTW 22 May – 28 May: death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – #NUWRLDの気持ち

Here’s a weird one, and I’m sure that the creators would agree. #NUWRLDの気持ち by death’s dynamic shroud.wmv gave rise to the titular NUWRLD movement within vaporwave, which is the auditory equivalent of deep fried memes. Tracks are constructed much like classic-style vaporwave – samples of video games, pop music, and muzak – but they’re wrung and contorted to an almost […]

death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – #NUWRLDの気持ち

Recommendation: ☀☁☁ #NUWRLDの気持ち1 is the eponymous album in death’s dynamic shroud.wmv’s (hereafter dds.wmv)2 NUWRLD series that dominated their output from 2014-2015. The fifth overall album from this vaporwave project that’s sometimes a trio, sometimes a duo, and sometimes a solo project from any of the members, #NUWRLDの気持ち is your soundtrack to a night on the tiles while lost in Geocities.

AOTW | 26 September – 2 October: death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – I’ll Try Living Like This

After skipping last week’s AOTW update due to personal vacation, Sunbleach is back with a new featured album – this time, something from death’s dynamic shroud.wmv (a.k.a. dds.wmv). I’ll Try Living Like This is probably one of the most recognizable albums in the ECCOJAMS subgenre of music, next to Daniel Lopatin’s genre-defining/-naming release. I’ll Try Living Like This is a […]

death’s dynamic shroud.wmv – I’ll Try Living Like This

Recommendation: ☀☀☁ death’s dynamic shroud.wmv (hereafter “dds.wmv”) starts off with a quote from Kim Kardashian. If that isn’t ballsy, then what is? Vaporwave has always straddled the line between kitschy self-deprecation and hipster bullshit within the popular consciousness, and I’ll Try Living Like This sure as hell pushes that to the point where it straddles the line between straddling the […]
