[shanbeaste]

A musical project I worked very hard on has been given a shine up and remastered for virtual consumption. Music nerds continue reading below about my past life as co-creator of an epic movement that swallowed the world for a brief few years. If you know Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Azalia Banks or Grimes, you have been effected by #Seapunk.

Zombelle x Myrrhkaba "Tropicult" Album: A Sea Punk Gem Revisited

In the annals of #Seapunk lore, few albums shine as brightly as Zombelle's "Tropicult." Originally unleashed upon the digital waves in 2011, this ethereal masterpiece is finally getting the re-release and remaster treatment it deserves. With its journey from micro-label aspirations to digital-only obscurity, "Tropicult" has become a cult classic among aficionados of the genre.

Co-creator of the #Seapunk movement, Zombelle played an instrumental role in shaping the genre's aesthetic and sonic landscape. Emerging as the FIRST seapunk release of the entire genre, "Tropicult" holds a seminal position in the realm of experimental music. Coming out of the afterspell of the Witchhouse movement (coined by Pictureplane's Travis Egedy), Zombelle's visionary creation rode the seapunk wave well into 2014, leaving an indelible mark before crashing down, never to be heard from again. Despite its ephemeral existence, the album's impact reverberated across both the United States and Canada, with a singular tour on American soil and live performances in the Great White North.

Crafted in the creative crucibles of Los Angeles, California, and Topeka, Kansas, "Tropicult" bears the imprint of collaborative genius. Helmed by the visionary Zombelle and engineered by the enigmatic Myrrhkaba, the album's sonic landscape is as diverse as the locales from which it was birthed.

For this long-awaited re-release, Myrrhkaba returns to the helm, breathing new life into each track with meticulous remastering. With a keen ear for preserving the album's original essence while enhancing its sonic fidelity, Myrrhkaba ensures that "Tropicult" remains a timeless testament to the #Seapunk ethos.

As the #Seapunk resurgence continues to crest, Zombelle's "Tropicult" stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation. With its re-release and remaster, this seminal album reaffirms its rightful place in the pantheon of modern niche genres. Prepare to embark on a sonic voyage like no other, as "Tropicult" invites you to dive deep into the ethereal depths of #Seapunk enchantment once more.
