I think Chillwave got an undeserved bad reputation, and now it's a dirty word. It's like the word "hipster" where people aren't comfortable using the word without a ton of disclaimers. But I loved when it was big. The best artists of the genre were pretty great at pop song craft (new Washed Out, Toro y Moi) and/or sample deconstruction (Neon Indian, old Washed Out). I too like it better than most of the genres that influenced it, except for funk of course. |

I feel like Toro Y Moi was really the only dude to deliver after the initial round of chillwave shit. Washed Out's album was pretty good, but I definitely prefer the EPs and Neon Indian will never make a song as good as Deadbeat Summer. |

Weird. I put off listening to Neon Indian because I thought it would just be a bunch of lesser Deadbeat Summers, but now that I have I think that's one of my least favorite songs on Psychic Chasms. I agree that the Washed Out EPs are better than the album, although I think it's a really good album. |

Chillwave is a very nostalgic kind of music to me and almost always tries to promote a kind of escapism into better times of the past visually more than anything else. I read an article on pitchfork about how it's built more from tangible objects we see (which are coincidentally the kind of currently in-style instagram-ed 80's stuff we see--wayfarers, tank tops, polaroids, etc). If anything, it's probably the closest music there is to accurately capture the current hipster image. The music itself I'm pretty lukewarm to, as I find it more effective as a social setting additive than the personal immersion it sounds like it should have. |

I think it would be cool to see what everyone comes up with (even if you don't submit it). I'm only making a list of 20. I think the less you pick, the more you say about yourself. |

add to that Magnetic Fields + Matana Roberts + Joanna Newsom + Raincoats (playing their debut) + Young Marble Giants (!!! playing all of colossal youth) + Thurston Moore/ Jeff Mangum/Sun Ra Arkestra/Low/Earth, also Boredoms, Half Japanese, Robyn Hitchcock, Olivia Tremor Control, Group Doueh, Mount Eerie ATP has consistently proven itself to be the greatest festival of recent times from just a purely musical point of view. other places might have more festive atmospheres, but every single atp lineup has made me weep for not being able to be there. |
