Description:

The opening "welcome.WAV" serves as a start-up sound file to move on. From "Life is Perfecto," a driving breakbeat/dream pop hybrid that dropped as a preceding single, to the ultra-French "Self Service," a single that was released on Sounds Of Beaubien Ouest in 2018. House with a grotesquely remixed version, to the recursive, metaphysical garage "After the After," this is the most intense and dizzying sounding work to date. The album also features two guest vocalists. The album also features two guest vocalists: Montreal neo shoegaze icon No Joy, who released her first new album in five years last year, "Motherhood," and "Model Castings," a laconic piece of advice for aspiring fashionistas over a track that sounds like a fusion of alternative rock and IDM. The track is a laconic piece of advice for aspiring fashionistas. Heaven" features Sarah Bonito of Kero Kero Bonito, whose cute vocals blend beautifully with the dreamy grunge-pop of the song's guitar arpeggios. The album also includes a vocal track sung by Mike himself.CFCF says of the album, "I was getting tired of too much 'calm' music that focused on productivity, so I wanted to explore something brooding, messy, and dark with a pop sparkle: early 20s, new cities, new people, new temptations, new traps, There is a loose narrative throughout the album. The whims of those around you, the music and fashion trends that make you lose your sense of self, the wrong people, and trying to dig yourself out of the hole you're in. There are glimpses of hope for moving forward in the last quarter of the album, but it seems out of reach and comes at a cost. And looking back later, we can look forward with perspective or with hope. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be in my 20s, but looking back in my 30s is bittersweet. That is the core of this work, "memoryland. It is about the gulf between fantasy, reality, and memory, and how we live within them at different points in time," he explains. The unique mental landscape that everyone may experience during their moratorium period is released through the filter of CFCF in "memoryland". Experience the new world that only the versatile and eclectic producer CFCF can create. (2/2)
