Mr. Kitty Synthpop

I came across Mr. Kitty through the great IdieYouDie music blog, which includes a full set of the 'LIFE' album that I sadly can't embed here. Album info here.

The album review by Alex at IDYD is thorough, and I agree with the unique sound this synthpop presents, while sounding comfortably familiar. Some tracks remind me of Depeche Mode, others of Crystal Castles, etc. Well worth checking out.

MEO - Rescue Me EP & new Makeup and Vanity Set Album

Via the Thomas Barrandon remix,
I came across this really neat (and currently free download) EP for MEO's EP. For some reason, the female voice over reminds me of Makeup & Vanity Set's 88:88 Film score track 'A Glowing Light, a Promise". Makeup & Vanity Set also appear to have a new mini-album out too, which is worth checking out:

 Soundcloud is a great site. Taking the best elements from the old myspace, last.fm, and other music-related websites, it's created an amazing resource for finding new music.

For an every growing array of synthwave, chillwave, and other music that sounds like it came from an alternate universe circa 1980, visit the 'ThisStuffIsWonderful' Soundcloud 'like' page.

Mirror Kisses - Kameron

Memorex : Video Remix of your memories

Came across this through Boing-Boing.net:   Memorex from Smash TV.

The music is a mix of vintage audio, expertly mixed with modern retrowave/synthwave/chillwave tracks, with found footage from the 1980s/1990s edited to match.

 "The audio provides a perfect accompaniment to the warped and weirdly nostalgic footage, like finding your favorite cassette from childhood after it’s been baking in the sun for 25 years. An authentic audio/visual package, Memorex was designed to look and feel like the real deal. The ultimate VHS tape.
Is it a lost cultural relic, melted to the dash of an '83 Nissan Sentra? Is it a sinister government experiment, designed to brainwash children into becoming consumer slaves?
Is it the pinnacle of blipverts, sent back in time from 20 minutes into the future? Is it the holy grail of unlabeled VHS tapes, tucked away in the back room of an abandoned Blockbuster?
Is it live, or is it Memorex?
We didn't create your childhood, we just organized it for you. How to brainwash an entire generation. OBEY. CONSUME. THIS IS YOUR GOD."

Watching this super-cut presentation pop culture detritus, and knowing that it (subliminally) structured my childhood causes both nostalgia and horror.
