Often
times, I do not fully comprehend why I hear the things the ways that I hear
them, but it is worth noting that when I listen to this tape I imagine it as
being played underwater. It doesn’t have
many sounds like water; I just imagine it as being a band of Snorks or whoever
else calls underwater home and can play music.
Hushed
whispers and repetitive lines such as “That doesn’t change a thing” and “Won’t
be nice” comprise the vocals on this cassette, so yes, you could say that it is
primarily instrumental. Bass lines,
synth keys, synth horns, guitar riffs, beeps and even a ska guitar riff are all
parts of the whole that can be found with these funky beats.
I
debated in my mind several times what this could be called, as it seems to have
some resemblance to something under the seapunk umbrella. I
wanted to pull out subgenre names like glo-fi or chillwave, but I just wasn’t
quite sure if they were the perfect fit for this.
So I
ended up created my own name for this, which I hope Pursuit Grooves deems fit
to use as a tag on Band Camp. Because
of the style, because of the flow, this needs to be summed up in only one
appropriate word: smoov. Let’s hope now that other artists can also
create music this good to join that subgenre.
