[Weekly Recap] 22 October – 28 October 2018
Welcome to the first contemporaneous weekly recap since the end of our summer hiatus! I am now adding the year to the Weekly Recap titles to aid clarity. There were quite a few new music releases this past week, especially in ambient vaporwave and hypnagogic drift. Also notable are new broken transmission, classic-style, and vaporgoth – the last of which no doubt because Halloween is fast approaching. See also several Sunbleach updates, especially some new album articles and other postings.
