Back In The Day - Swami Sound

24/2/23 - EDM, UKG/"NYG", House, Pop + more

This album totally embodies curent day 2000s nostalgia aesthetics but in a way where youre not stuck looking back, youre looking forward with the spirit of the past just behind you which is 100 times better. It fills my soul and brings me closer to my inner child. Also its great beats & lovely melodys with heartfelt lyrics set to a mind clearing Frutiger Aero style ambience.
Genre wise its super nyc/uk garage/house from a true child of the internet age with really nice brockhampton ginger style pop expression bringing it all to the surface. Takes me right back to the back seat of my dads car, garage radio beating under the sound of the road, orange stretlights and red rear lights all flying in the night but at the same time its the most current album ever for the post-modern world of hyper-spesific context dependent internet culture where people just want to dance but just cant -dont want to- leave everything else at the door.
This album is more than the music (even though thats all it needed!). I found Swami Sound through a gum.mp3 retweet of some video which is now dissapeared, him in chainmail headdress. Maybe it was the album trailer. ----i want to analyise the visual identity of this project which i cant do off the top of my head so wait a few days for me to research and think.,.

IM STILL WRITING THIS 11/11/24
