The style reference canon for this phase of VW is :

Chuck Person's Eccojams (Danial Lopatin aka OneOhTrixPoint Never)

and

Macintosh Plus Floral Shoppe (I never would have financed the vinyl
release of this if I would have known it was going to cause so much
drama)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCq0P509UL4

many many many other releases which are much less inspired


thanks,

Jeffrey J Davis
