#most of mac demarco's stuff is not vaporwave at all

[dead-malls]

Off topic but related to my last post on Dan Bell’s TEDx talk: this is my fave vaporwave-ish song. The melody is from “The Word II” by Shigeo Sekito, a song from the 70s that uses an electric organ and is also really worth checking out. I mean just look at the album cover: 

no use looking out, it’s within that brings that lonely feeling
