Damn. 'Member The Shining ballroom jazz? This is it, disintegrating. As robertsona says in the Top 100 Sput AOTD, there's an uncanny presence in absence. It's lethargic, peaceful and depressive. Most importantly, it's retrofuturistic at its core, taking secluded past music to evoke an imaginary future. The use of these time markers is however not the kind you would expect: taking chipper music from the past to conjure modern depression is a work of spookiness. The listener has to understand what to make of this, which makes it a difficult record to approach. So yeah, the title is oddly pinpoint accurate: it arouses a haunting euphoria without any meaning, without any marking time. It sounds out of this world, awakening memories you never had, and hopes you will never accomplish.

Hazy, minimal, beautiful; dreaming of Rapture and the Overlook ballroom.

Sometimes I feel like I would rather just listen to ambient, or to dixieland or swing. It's intriguing nonetheless.
