Flamingo - Superpalm (2011)



/Electronic pop, Glo-fi, Chillwave, Lo-fi, Ambient techno, Hypnagogic pop, Avant-pop/

Comment
: Flamingo is a producer from Rome, Italy offering up an uplifting mix of ambient techno/kosmische chill-out electronica and chillwave-ish indie pop. The 5-track EP starts out with the self-titled track which gets very near to the Orb-esque beatific ambient techno contemplation a la Toxygene (from within the album Orblivion, 1997, Island Records) and the last track Bat Country will do it in the similar manner either. The other tracks in-between are more contemplative in their blissed-out frames and retrodelic hypnagogic gyration (reminding of the 80`s fusion-loaded synth/electro rock bands, and contemporary acts like Ariel Pink, and Eureka Brown), and primitive lo-fi sequences. Ultimately, it is a pleasant listening.
