foxyshibata Being in the chat for the youtube drop of this album was great, every track you could feel the progression this genre has had over the past ten years as it blared through my car speakers.
My only sadness is that I didn't pull the trigger on getting a cassette player until two days after pre-orders ended! Oh well.
Wish I could put two favorites, because WAVES Makes me feel some good things, but Frankjavcee's baseline on Raining in LA gets my dick hard. Favorite track: Raining In LA.

We’ve been drifting off again Dreading all the shame That’s been bottled up As it falls onto the ground It’s your words in my head That can’t come to an agreement It’s your worth in my hands That just shatters into pieces Rooted all that weight into my arms So we could pull it together I took it out and chained it to my heart And it sends me off on my own We’ve been toeing on the line Spilling out for days It’s a caveat But it won’t take much to drown
2.
Here we go again my only friend you make me feel brand new Wish this moment last forever cloudy weather got me feeling blue Rainy streets we're in the sheets in my arms I'm feelin you Here we go again my only friend you make me feel brand new And you know what's up Now we're going down Now we're going up Now we're going down Stood in bed all day Cuz it's raining in LA Been there since yesterday Cuz it's raining in LA

All along, this was the way it's meant to end You and I, just like your friends always said Sometimes it feels a little boring It's like a destiny in stone I smile because I don't think I would have it any other way But then I open my third eye But then I look through my third eye Constantly taking for granted how the story goes Nothing left but to wait till it all comes true: me and you I know what I know and there's nothing that anyone can say to change the future I see All along, following stars that looked aligned But then I open my third eye But then I look through my third eye I open my third eye And I look through my third eye And I open my third eye And I look through my third eye I open my third eye I look through my third eye

Once in a while I’ll wake up to life, already so tired of day. No promise tomorrow or give your advice. The night is my time in a way. Remember the lies and deception they give, remember we’re living chains. They’ll tell us misguided and ignorant folk, it’s healthy the way that we live. A promise is broken, like clockwork, the lies. We cast out the words of our ends. I wake up to life and already I’m scared. No promise tomorrow, my friends. And when my tears won’t flow- I feel pity. And when the empathy won’t glow- I feel pity. Waxing and whining poetic details. Our minds are but wavering words. My chronic delusions going off the rails, my memories fading like birds. They call me a sad little man in my head. Can’t tell if I’m inside their minds, can’t shake off the feeling I’d rather be dead. I hardly deserve my own bed! And though my tears won’t flow- I feel pity. And baby empathy won’t glow- I feel pity Also very very small nitpick the only one I noticed lyric wise- DL track is missing the first chorus at the start of the track, easy copy paste to the beginning!

Got it alright Got it on the way down Got it alright Gotta get it right I saw you there You saw me too Didn’t know what to do But Damn those eyes They cut and kill me I Can’t believe I found you here Tonight Damn those eyes They cut right through me I Can’t believe It’s all gonna Come back to me Damn those eyes (x8) Got it alright Got it on the way down Got it alright Gotta get it right (x2)

(well I listen to it and whatever… I hear the best part in the record I’ll take it...) The plot thickens Reflect the neon signs I see your eyes glisten Mmmm And though my smile’s fading More and more each day I see your love won’t let it disappear Baby I… Will always be down for you I’ll do what you ask me too Whatever and that you knew And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why I’ll always be down for you I’ll do what you ask me too Whatever and that you knew And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why And I’m never gonna leave and I’m telling you why

I'm sorry I was asleep I'm sorry I was a creep You can’t be so irresistible You can’t be so irresistible You can’t be so irresistible It's just not fair And I feel like shit It's just not fair I’d take you home, I’d take you home, I’d take you home but you don't care And I feel like shit She’s just not there I’d take you home, I’d take you home, I’d take you home but you don't care

Not today! Not today! Time to open up your heart, break down the door. eyes are locked on mine, don't look away. Windy summer..

Uh, I should feel tragic Sitting here all alone Uh, I just imagine Moments that go unknown Conversations happen on repeat in my head But do you think of me at all? Talking alone When people say they see us talking alone, no matter What they say, talking alone People say they see us talking alone Analogue hands count down ‘till the end Maybe our time won’t ever come again You misspelled my pain Self-corrected it to something more tragic I can’t help it if you think I’m too dramatic I remember all your numbers, it’s automatic Recalling your voice over the telephone static I’ll tell how it should go the next time that we meet At the airport lounge on level three Talking alone When people say they see us talking alone, no matter What they say, talking alone People say they see us talking alone

Dress you up in lavender I can be your medical desire Hit me on the regular Hold you up a little bit higher You can learn to love it baby You can be aesthetic/ascetic When you learn to sell it Drip you down with alcohol This can be a regular decision Baby you can shake it off Cause you would make a perfect new addition You can learn to love it baby You can be aesthetic/ascetic When you learn to sell it

You keep talking about your ex She's been gone for a while You can't even remember her face Why do you even bother Sayin' you didn't like the sex And you didn't like her style That she fucked all of your friends And left you with a smile on her face? Let me take a quick sip Of your ice cold LaCroix while we're... Reminiscing of a past that never was Dreaming up futures that will never be... You keep buying the same present Over and over, but it ain't for me... X2 You look sexy when you cry Even though those are fake tears You seem to be at your best When you languish in your fears. Swimming in theatre blood To highlight that you hurt It's a little on the nose But I think it goes well with your sweatshirt Wanna share a smoke While you talk about other girls? I don't mind, I am different Yeah, I fucked over a couple of blokes, But I'm here to listen Those bitches sound the worse Let's share another smoke while we keep on... Reminiscing of a past that never was Dreaming up futures that will never be... You keep buying the same present Over and over, but it ain't for me...

How many hearts I broke for this destructive need for sex? How many soulmates did you let go for being vague once more? I feel sad 'cause I'm lonelier I'm alone 'cause being sad makes me uglier You want love, a relationship 'cause you're in the mood, who knows next day How many times we cursed this self-destructive human nature? How many times we'll be a mess before we get together? I feel sad 'cause I'm lonelier I'm alone 'cause being sad makes me uglier You want love, a relationship 'cause you're in the mood, who knows next day
14.
And I'm tellin' myself Yes, it's only a phase And what I perceive Is just lost in the maze Of my mind and my soul Yet they know that it's true But I Can't see you leaving me soon And it's not what you say Please just say it's not true I am dying alone In this hotel room While you're out on the town In the time of your life I am Sitting here wondering why
15.
So you take another step in the moonlight’s fire Just to feel melt away Try to feed a broken desire Try to feel like that’s okay And you take another look at what’s expired Hoping it’ll fade away Thinking it won’t you hurt again Hoping it’s gone today I don’t think that you’re here anymore Not quite sure of the reason, but I’ll take it for sure I think if you’re not here anymore I should maybe learn something else Hollowed out of all preferred feelings I really wish that they’d stay But they’re gone and you’re gone But I don’t feed it I just receive it I didn’t mean to pull you down It overwhelms me And helps me To always keep looking down I don’t feed it I just exceed it I never meant to pull you down It overwhelms me And tells me To always keep looking down I don’t think that you’re here anymore Not quite sure of the reason, but I’ll take it for sure I think if you’re not here anymore I should maybe learn something else But I don’t feed it I just receive it I didn’t mean to pull you down It overwhelms me And helps me To always keep looking down
16.
Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down, Don’t let those fuckers keep you down, sometimes for everybody else things seem to fall right into place, just be yourself and make it right for good tonight (x2)

Gated reverb Slow the tape Chasing rainbows Cyber space Get creative Sample based Vaporwave's not dead... Gate the reverb, light delay Take a loop and make it fade Rip and download, sample based Get creative, rearrange Start collecting, slow the tapes Chasing rainbows pixelate Analog to cyberspace Vaporwave's not dead...

about

Pacific Plaza Records and Zoroarkfilms are proud to present: Vapor Pop! A compilation of songs by artists from the vaporwave scene with original vocals and lyrics influenced by chillwave, hypnagogic pop, and vaporwave aesthetics.

"Over a decade from its inception, the Vaporwave scene has grown from a small crop of producers into a full fledged art movement- complete with its own visual/aesthetic style, independent ecosystem of labels and a robust community of musicians and fans. While numerous new sub-genres have emerged over the years, vaporwave with original vocals has been explored since its early days in the 2010’s by artists like 18 Carat Affair, Skeleton Lipstick and Whitewoods.

Now, a new generation of producers are taking up the mantle and making vaporwave inspired music with original vocals and lyrics following in the footsteps of Dan Mason (who coined the term Vaporwave 2, an alternate genre tag for vaporwave with original vocals), George Clanton, Skylar Spence and SURFING.

These artists have been brought together for a special compilation, celebrating the diversity of sounds and talent the contemporary vaporwave scene has to offer! Each track is a different take on the aesthetics and sounds of the genre- pulling from a wide range of influences that have shaped the current vaporwave scene at large."
-Alyx P (Pacific Plaza Records)

Review from Vylter: "Zoroarkfilms and Pacific Plaza have done a fantastic job on Vapor Pop! of both working with new creators and tying in artists who have worked with PPR before. This release should appeal to the base as well as newcomers to vocal-oriented vapor."
