Teen Daze - Reality Refresh (2020)

Canada's British Columbia-based electronic dream pop talent, Jamison Isaak's solo project Teen Daze, released his sixth new album, "Bioluminescence," last year, but after that Started announcing the "Reality Refresh" series digitally. Currently, up to Vol.3 has been released, and Vol.4 will be announced in early November, but the complete version that combines the four EPs will be released on CD only in Japan.

Originally, there is an image of dream pop to synth pop that originated from chillwave, but although this work has the same texture, it is finished in a very organic and comfortable relaxing sound that makes full use of raw sounds. Especially these days, he loves "Japanese Realic" such as Japanese city pop (Tatsuro Yamashita, YMO and all their related projects, Makoto Matsushita and AB's and Paradigm Shift, Taeko Onuki, Hiroshi Sato, etc.). It seems that the influence from that point has led to the smooth taste of this time.

Swing drums, soft-phase keyboard loops, sensitive piano phrases, danceable basslines, and fluttering cosmic percussion create the ultimate in soothing background music. A sound source that makes you feel his new phase and is the most refreshing has been completed.
