the concepticons (and, frankly, People Who Care Too Much About Hardcore; people who equate Club = Forward = Worth Valorising/Important) were shife with us for being 'stoned escapists'. someone i tried connecting with via internet club was hating on color ocean road for that reason; was trying to tell me they were all about GOOD SOUND DESIGN AND LOUD DRUMS.
and that was 2014?
mark my words that shit is going to age wayyy worse than the best 20 Minute Chillwave Zoners.
some questions.
what if certain shit is just not worth engaging with?
what if not everything has to be 100% present moment, where is the allowance for time slippage, gently being out of sync?
what if not every release has to be engaging novel ideas, but a few solid ones can be slowly fucked with over the course of prolific years?
