Semen
Priest is a band that wears many different masks aside from just the strange
name mask. They have beats for days,
mixed with that whole experimental electronic vibe, sure, but there is
something much more here.
It’s
not quite synth wave or even seapunk, so I was thinking perhaps vaporwave but
that might not be right either. I can
hear these Oriental tones coming in at times, and it reminds me of something that
you might hear playing in a Chinese buffet.
Side
Note: I was in a Chinese buffet once that had those Oriental tones, but had
them playing in the form of American pop songs.
Ugh, I wish I could remember where that was.
And then
all at once, it hits me like a ton of bricks… or maybe just a couple of hundred
pounds of bricks. I realize where I’ve
heard this before, why it sounds so familiar and why I am so engaged by
it. In every aspect, this could be the
soundtrack to Samurai Jack and I just find that to be ever so lovely.
