From the early 2014 to late 2018 I was living and working in Germany. Moving to a new country as a 30+ years old man wasn't easy to find friends or make connections. So what I would do most of my time was, work long hours, come home, spend most of my free time playing video games and browsing the internet.
I had already discovered synthwave by that point, so most of my human connections I would do inside of Facebook groups. There I would discover new music, I would share mine when I had something ready, and also discover new genres from other people's suggestions.
That's how I got into vaporwave and future funk, that's how I discovered Simpsonwave.
That was a meme subgenre that would "...collage classic "Simpsons” moments with vaporwave tracks", as Pitchfork writes.
The result was some very surreal and psychedelic videos that seemed to gel very well with the vaporwave tracks that accompanied them.
I was lucky to see this meme genre evolve, reach its peak and then disappear.
Lately I've been in a, let's say interesting mood, so I thought I'd make my own Simpsonwave track.
This is Best Friends.
In the Bandcamp release I include a Broken Vinyl version that makes the original a bit off puting and a Slushwave version, because I do like weirdness in my music.
I hope you enjoy!
