Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews

• November Late Music: DREAM SELECT and Once, We Were Infinite

  Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonWow, would you look at that? It’s an episode covering some new music, and within Birk’s local light cone, it still qualifies as a November release. After spending an absurd amount of time on a couple of shout outs we get into two great albums. First up is some vaporwave/drum and base from Pizza Hotline inspired by nostalgia for early 00s video game soundtracks. Then we embrace the black friday recording date with some chillwave/mallsoft synth work from Dead Shopping Malls.

• We’re VHS Poppin’

  Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonAnnouncement!We were fortunate enough to be invited onto the “Hot Takes” vaporwave talk show. We sat down with YUNG SHIRO 白 and luxury noise for two hours of chatting about everything from Boards of Canada to horror tropes. Please check it out here: Episode 87: Night Clerk Radio.Anyway! Wow, another genre episode! It’s been a while. What will they talk about this time? Will they talk about Bandcamp tags for an uncomfortable amount of time? Will they get hung up on overly niche hyper characterization of niche genres? The answer to all these questions is obviously “yes!” In this episode, we’re digging into the genre of VHS pop, which is often thought of as the upbeat and optimistic cousin of late night lo-fi. We talk about our history with the VHS format, attempts to classify niche genres, the power of nostalgia for physical media, and our hope for a revival of the sub-genre.
