Comment: I
can remember for that one music reviewer suggested once while such phenomenon
as chillwave lasted 6 months only the influence of it would have endured much longer,
principally to date. Maybe he was right if to consider Baltimore, US-based
artist Terracotta Blue`s career and doings. He started issuing outings at the
second half of 2011 when the movement started to become less in extent and
die-hard intensity. However, it does not mean that Terracotta Blue has not
changed during these four years. Arcade b-w
Healer was one of his first issues with regard to Bandcamp. The issue
consists of a couple of compositions which are replete with crispy rhythms and
dreamy meanders and majestic synthesiser induced chord progressions. In fact,
given that those rhythms reveal their partly lo-fi tinged touch (at Healer) the issue can be considered an
organic cross between indie electronic/chillwave tendencies and Ninja Tune
related artists composed jazz-based music and Flying Lotus inflected
hip-hop/trip-hop alchemy. On the other side, Arcade has been built upon catchy electro bass propulsions and
enchanting synthesised progressions atop. In a word, the release can be
exploited both to conjure up decent mood around you and for a more
sophisticated listening time.
