Tokyo Garageband producer i-fls works best in album form, his faded memory jingles sounding best when they rub up against one another to create a well-rounded portrait of what youth, nostalgia and the suburbs feel like. Individual tracks usually sound perfectly fine, but their full impact is felt when they run together. “Ambiguous Reply” would probably bloom in the context of a larger release (potentially coming), yet it stands on its own too. Like most of i-fls’ music, the title sets the scene – “Ambiguous Reply” wants to capture the feeling of getting an ambiguous reply (tags like “it’s bummer” help push forward that). Everything swirls together, with disparate elements popping up (the beat at times, in particular) to add tension to an otherwise melancholy haze. Listen below.
