Song of the Week


Era Extrana

The future of music is here. Or at least the sound of the future. Chillwave, with its processed effects--vocals, synthesizers, loops--is a compelling reclamation project: sifting through the musical scrapheap of yesterday in order to build the sonic structures of tomorrow. Call it an Era Extrana. Neon Indian would. Enjoy "Polish Girl" from Austin, Texas' coolest cyborg. One thing we always learn in these videos: virtual love affairs are elusive. No wonder Max Headroom never had a girlfriend. (Check out a sweet live performance on "Fallon" last night).
