I mean, its definitely a misleading title on a lot of levels, mostly because to reduce Shortcake Collage Tape down to being just “chillwave” does a great disservice. Yeah, the adjectives that comes to mind for this (Mogwai-referencing?) song fit…hazy, blurred, chilled out. Yet it owes just as much to vaporwave, and even dropping something like that is misleading because what Shortcake Collage Tape does so well – as demonstrated on the still-fantastic Spirited Summer – is always stay above genre-related stereotypes. So yes, this is a slowly unfurling electronic track featuring vocals inspired by Chuck Person AND a closing blast of saxophone…but the bulk of “Chillwave Will Die” is an absorbing, atmospheric listen, where the only real intrusion comes from the beat. Though that sax sounds sweet. Listen below.
