Why does every other "dreampunk" album sound so bland compared to 2814? What fucking black magic were T e l e p a t h and HKE on?
>>1236631782814's sound is not distinct enough to warrant its own genre. It's vaporwave/ambient, and there's tons of great artists in both genres, and obviously plenty of boring artists ripping them off too
>>123663275I literally cannot find anything similar that's as transportive as 2814 is, and when I do it's a side-project of HKE or Telepath. Like the rest of this genre sounds like royalty free cyberpunk music in comparison - it's missing something that I cannot describe. I have yet to listen to an album in this style that is so enveloping in its sound.
