Almost missed this one! Last Friday, Canadian label Lost Angles released a new full-length from Open XML titled iWork. This album consists of hypnagogic drift and sample curation with a distinct late-80s new wave and adult contemporary vibe.

Like 新しい日の誕生, this album is an ambient vaporwave/dreampunk release with an urban […]

In addition to the Dan Mason cassette reissue, Lost Angles has new music available from an artist named Odaxelagnia. Now with an album title like Vapor.wav, you’d probably think that this were going to be a pretty meme-sounding album, but it’s actually vaporhop/vaportrap with significant influences from classic-style vaporwave and future funk music. The album is eighteen tracks long, and […]
