Vaporwave continues its dynasty of cogging away mystery with R0x4ry’s newest release, Empire, out now on Asura Revolver. The sounds of maximalism overwhelm the sense to an uneasy pragmatic exploitation of levels that almost hypnotize listeners into a sleep cycle, almost as if entrancing the ears and brain into a collusion of sorts that practically scrub the mind of memories. Like staring at a windowpane for longer than an hour. Like the creation of life and infinity happens every 1,00,00,000,0000+ centuries: it’s out there. The Empire has been formulated. Algorithms are in place to find that peak zen of consumer marketing. Let’s all mantra the length of this dollar-sign. Follow the architecture of R0x4ry. Be playful.
