Examinations of sea, witch and *wave music

[sea---witch]

Verona Beach by RAP/ RAP/ RAP

♪ EDM likes its repetition too much, but I don’t mind it at all in this track. The muted electric guitar (don’t quote me) makes it work.

[sea---witch]

Ogasawara by Visaプリペイド (Visa Prepaid)

♪ I hesitate to put it under seapunk--it's more like sea ambience, or if you played a regular seapunk song at a much slower tempo. No matter what it is, it's a quiet, gentle, unanxious track. Vocals at the very end.

[sea---witch]

Cherry Pepsi by SAINT PEPSI ♪ The straggler of the evening for the neo-disco crowd. It's, like, funky. Or whatever you say about this kind of sound.

[sea---witch]

1 in a million by WΛ††S

♪ A sweet and longing track with a lot of depth and Aaliyah samples. Like sitting on the train home after a too-short vacation.

[sea---witch]

Roses by White Ring

♪ Intense and urgent with distorted female vocals. Melodious. One of my favorite witch house tracks.

[sea---witch]

Epoch 1 by ☼ӾƔLѲǃĐ☼

♪ Upbeat and sort of nautical. Brings to mind large yachts or an N64 game level taking place in one.

[sea---witch]

Genesis by Grimes

♪ Light, upbeat, ethereal track with gentle female vocals and arpeggios on a piano. It has higher production values than all the other songs on this blog put together, but it's a great track and I'd be an idiot not to include it.

[sea---witch]

Sleepyhead by Passion Pit, remixed by mmaajjkk

♪ A hopeful, dreamlike track with indistinct vocals and tempo changes. Doesn’t sound anything like its source material. It sounds like dreamwave so I'm counting it as dreamwave.

[sea---witch]

Wavestep by Blank Banshee

♪ Soothing, cheery seapunk with murky male vocals and a sample from what seems to be the Zora's Domain theme.

[sea---witch]

I Can Try To Run (Stuck) by Babe Rainbow

♪ Like wind howling through a long-abandoned laboratory complex. Ominous and droning.

[sea---witch]

Ave Plague by King Plague

♪ Slow and low-stress. Less grim than a lot of witch house. Actually pretty beautiful.

[sea---witch]

I Dream (For You) by Com Truise

♪ A slow, smooth, minimalistic and kind of sexy track. Its depth and punctuation give it a late summer evening feeling.

[sea---witch]

Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus (フローラの専門店 by MACプラス)

♪ I'm told this is a classic vaporwave album. The whole thing is sort of hit-or-miss for me, but my favorite track is the second on the album at about 3:25. It has a nostalgic, syrupy feeling.

[sea---witch]

Fada’ / Spaces by Sun Glitters feat. Makimakkuk

♪ This track is dreamlike, faraway, strange. The drifting female vocals and off-kilter flute or recorder in the background add to the surreal feel.

[sea---witch]

Royal Water by Napoleon Gold (and Sun Glitters)

♪ The picture for this track was well-chosen. It sounds like looking into a deep lake from the edge of a dock. Also I'm a sucker for samples lifted from documentaries or educational videos.

[sea---witch]

Ребенок Розмари by Rebyonok Rosmary

♪ Rosemary's Baby by Rosemary's Baby. Deep, intense, rolling, not quite demonic. There's also a random measure from the Seikilos Epitaph at 2:55, for whatever reason.

[sea---witch]

UltraVision® by $PL▲$H ¢LUB 7

♪ Drifting throbbing technological track by an artist(s?) who usually does seapunk. Kind of a trip from start to finish, it never settles in one spot for long.
