This synthy chillwave trend in indie music is not one that I particularly welcome. Artists need to try actual songwriting instead of cashing in on this mellow music-by-numbers. How people actively enjoy this is beyond me.
@MetaSamus I am a trained pop musician and I appreciate and enjoy this piece. There is as much song writing in this music as any other contemporary pop music-it's minimal but there is nothing wrong with that if that was the artist's intention
@Muddyw67 I disagree. There is far more songwriting in contemporary pop music than in this song. If we're going to talk pop, go listen to Stars, or of Montreal, or some Alphabeat or Robyn or something. Those artists are extremely talented, and their music has no trouble conveying that because they use that talent to actually write. This song, however, is a two-note synth riff over a drum machine pattern with a pinch of ghastly vocals. It's minimal, but to the point of repetitiveness.
@MetaSamus "Actual" songwriting is in the ear of the beholder, my friend; I can't get enough of this song. I love Stars, Of Montreal, Belle & Sebastian, but they'll never be able to evoke the feeling I experience with this style of music.
I think I dislike Washed Out's vocals more than any 'chillwave' artist, but this newer stuff is pretty dope. Toro Y Moi still takes the cake though. He's just too funky.
@stevenARTify yes i think a u2 song too

So when Ernest Greene isn't sampling old vinyl he ends up making music that sounds like Moby and Ulrich Schnauss getting high in the studio.
