Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Round and Round
"Round and Round" captures the sound of nostalgia with a chorus that washes over you like a tide. This is chillwave afterall right? The layered vocals and jubilant refrain sound like yellow-tinged sky, lomography, the 1960's and well, summer. It's vintage sunglasses, the release of She & Him's Volume II, Mad Men, the WSJ's write-up on chillwave, and your father's old shirts; what else do you need to know that 1960 was really just 2010 sans internet. It's such an obvious question, that I don't think it's asked enough: Aren't hipsters our generation's hippies?

I don't know... I think the big difference is that hipsters are more jaded and big into irony. True hippies really wanted free love and all that magic. But I do love all that retro '60s goodness.
