Even though I think chillwave is just a term coined by those who aren't aware of dream pop's and neo-psychedelia's existence, it's an interesting mix nonetheless. A bit trippier and a lot more sample-heavy than Merriweather Post Pavilion, which got picked up by vaporwave without a doubt. The Beach Boyish ahhhhs and overall heavy psychedelic rock vibe reminds me of Tame Impala, but neither could be inspired by each other, which means they were probably inspired by the same source. While Tame Impala doubled up on psychedelic rock, Toro added a more '90s electronica vibe to it. Much more interesting if you ask me, and much more influentual."[+]Reply

Released as his second studio album, it features ten tracks that blend throbbing club beats with cinematic and serene moments. Sakis Gouzonis, a recognized synth-pop artist from Greece, uses his skills a composer, arranger and producer to create a soundscape that is both uplifting and reflective. The album’s standout tracks, such as “From The Sky,” “Eternal Peace,” and “So This Is Heaven,” showcase his ability to craft music that is both emotionally resonant and rhythmically engaging.
Thematically, New Earth is inspired by the idea of a transformative time in history, where greater light shines onto the earth, heralding a future without tears and pain. New Earth captures this vision through its dynamic compositions and hopeful melodies."[+]Reply
"12 Memories is probably the darkest and least commercial album Travis have released .

Even the singles tend to seek new grounds for the band, and they are not as immediately catchy as the big hits from the previous two albums. The first single "Re-Offender" in glipses almost sound like a Radiohead song,.
Generally there seem to a great inspiration from a band like Blur. Not least on great tracks like "Somewhere Else" and "Mid-Life Krysis" - my two favourite tracks on the album along with the opener "Quicksand" - I love the "hey-hey" harmony vocals on the chorus.
The three singles "Re-Offender", "Beautiful Occupation" and "Love Will Come Through" ( classic Travis sound ) obviously are great songs, too.
Instrumentally the album is the most varied of all Travis' albums, and it's an album to return to again and again. None of the songs seem unnecessary, and lyrically the band has more at heart than usually.
I would not be surprised if this album eventually is going to be rated as the group's most successful.

"This might be their best so far. Really opened up for the trumpets, Derek Trucks' heavenly guitar play is less prominent with respect to their previous albums, but still present when it needs to."Reply

Amazing production matched to confessional autobiographical lyrics, this may be a couple of tracks too long (a problem affecting many albums toward the end of the CD era) this remains rich and satisfying. Less overtly pop than his early material, but the singer-songwriter material is deeply affecting, the dancey stuff is sonically exciting, and both strands are melodic and interesting. It now stands as something of a lost gem, waiting to be rediscovered by listeners willing to dive deeper into George’s catalogue.

For me, anyway, this album is a revelation. I love almost every minute of it. The genres of this album are many per the music resources I use. And I can hear the variety, but also there is a nice flow and consistent vibe of the album. Even when the sound gets more rhythmic and less ambient (such as on the sublime "Sundial") there is something stitching it together with the mood of the mellower songs that make the shift less whiplash-inducing.
In terms of tracks that really stand out to me as some of my fave songs this year, the opener "Atlas" is brilliant. Before this album came out and when only a few tracks were available for me to listen to, I listened to this opener many times. The gorgeous, intimate melody and the way the whole thing builds and shifts mercurially, as well the mood the song put me into as it progressed, made me just fall head over heels for this song. And this made this full length album one of the most anticipated for me in the early part of this year. In context of the whole album "Atlas" works just as well as it does as a standalone.
Really, the first half of this album is head to toe great! "Cazenove", "Saku" and especially "Apricots" (personally love the recurring vocal part here and the way the song builds. The vocals may rub some the wrong way, but I don't know, I honestly love it.)
The second half is a little more chiseled and less atmospheric I suppose. The album's second half is also dominated by a couple absilutely amazing songs - "X" is so cool I can't even convey. Its just awesome! And "Fir" is a standout, as is the previously mentioned "Sundial."
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm not super familiar or really at all familiar with Future Garage, or UK Bass, nor have I spent a lot of time delving into the earlier works by Bicep, so coming to this album with no previous exposure and just experiencing it as newbie over and over and over, I can say I think this is one of the best albums I've heard this year and it is consistently quite great. Even tracks that don't really amaze me (such as "Lido") are at least pretty and keep the album moving along a very intimate line."[+]Reply
