about

"After an awesome return album with 'Still Groovy', I really wanted to get comfortable back in the driver seat in producing some groovy tunes for y'all. I want to start off by saying I appreciate everyone listening to my jams so much, it means so much to me!!! So, now I got a new workflow of finding and clearing samples with Tracklib, and I had more time & energy to focus on the concept of the album, and trying new things!

This album is a collection of songs I've made and premiered at various URL Vaporwave Shows I've been lucky enough to play. But wrapped together into a album friendly flow, ready for physical releases! There's also a few new tracks on here where I did my own vocals! I'm really excited to hear what y'all think of that! And in true nostalgic vaporwave fashion, the album cover pays homage to one of my favorite Childhood games 'Destroy All Monsters', a Godzilla fighting game for the Gamecube.

The concept for the album revolves around some Groovy Kaiju lore that I'm cooking up. It takes place before 'Godzilla got Busy' in the timeline, and is the origin story of 'Groovy'. It introduces Groovy's friends, and how Groovy was originally summoned to drop all of these amazing tunes.

Most, if not all, of these songs were produced during my quarantine from Covid-19. Essentially, these songs were all me just imaging the feeling of what it will be like to get back out into the world after lockdown! Thankfully and gratefully, most of us in the US are now vaccinated against the virus, and I hope these happy tracks can accompany you as well as we start to leave lockdowns and things!

Lastly, and continuing on attempting to include more of myself in my music, this album definitely has influences from me being black, and some reflections on the current issues in the U.S. In particular, 1 in 1000 is probably the track I'm most proud of on the whole album. I spent a lot of time trying to craft something that, musically, could be my feelings on being black in US in today's world. It also serves as a Double entendre, in which similar to how it's a miracle that Kaiju risk their lives every day to protect others, it's an unfortunate miracle that black people (like myself) are able to survive all of the systemic problems thrown at them every day. Both physically and mentally. I felt like it was a great end to the album, similar to how a Kaiju would reflect on their battle once it is done, I hope that we to can find a peace at the end of this. Black lives matter.

Again, thank you all so much for vibin' and groovin' to my tunes. Please feel free to reach out whenever. And most of all, Stay Groovy!
- Groovy Kaiju

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack. Leading Motive
