Imperial Topaz - Imperial (2012)



9.4

/Chillwave, Glo-fi, Experimental indie, Electronic pop, Art pop, Alternative, Slowcore/

Comment: Imperial Topaz is a musical project from Brooklyn, NY, USA who used to fuse contemporary indie tendencies into a delicious hotchpotch. Furthermore, all these elements represented there are finely balanced, yet, being remarkably keen on slowcore and glo-fi elements in the first place. Indeed, although it might be perceived to provide predominatingly laidback templates and mesmerising dust for the listener it seems to be invigorating either somehow. This 4-track EP can be compared with the likes of Beach House, Prince Rama, Zola Jesus, Maria Minerva, Julia Holter. Very good by any means.
