Released via Seattles’ Puget Sound Collective, “Orbital” is an astounding mix of chillsynth and lo-fi electronica with just a hint of vaporwave thrown into the mix for good measure. This EP has been floating around for quite some time, having been first released back in 2018 – before chillsynth had even truly solidified into a solid genre. Regardless, it’s a truly excellent release, filled with ethereal tones and relaxing melodies that help your mind sink back into the warm static screens of an analog childhood. I’m incredibly happy to see “Orbital” finally making its way onto the magnetic tape of yesteryear!

Voyager is well known in the chillsynth circles, having made his way onto the Electronic Gems youtube channel and even producing some awesome tunes like ‘Echo Chambers’ alongside A.L.I.S.O.N. In fact, A.L.I.S.O.N even created the album art for “Orbital!”

The cassette itself is a sexy print, featuring the old album artwork of a woman on a beach from the original releases on bandcamp. Overall, if you’re tapehead – or a synthwave / chillsynth fan, this is NOT a release you wanna miss!

Grab yourself a copy here – with only 100 copies, they’re sure to sell out!

“Signal Flow” is especially extraordinary when you realize that the  A.L.I.S.O.N sound will be turning just two years old later this month –  and has yet to release their first full length album! They do, however, have several fantastic EP’s and demo-tapes under the belt – with another track “Take Off” being particularly face-meltingly fantastic.

A.L.I.S.O.N’s other releases vary in sound a bit, but a fantastic distilled essence of chillsynth remains throughout, rising above other “Memewave” counterparts in not only production but also execution. Don’t miss this one if you’re a fan of HOME, Emil Rottmayer, or Tycho. Like this sound? Check out Florida Skyline or ADMO!
