Floating somewhere between bliss and provocation: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde's CHILL takes aim at chillwave but gleefully veers into ambient, downtempo, and reggae territory — complete with a cranky solo that snuck in during mixing — while their follow-up Flodbåt floods the downtempo lane with Art Rock and Synth Pop. theJLM's Guillotine / Time Doesn't Exist fires a political warning shot at the oligarchical class before dissolving into illusory chaos. Alex Nite rounds things out with retro-synth nostalgia and dystopian isolation across the five-track Scandals EP.
