How can the entire genre of Electro-Swing be better than this album?
>>64337980
but anon, RiL is the best electroswing album there is
electroswing is actually cancer
>>64337980
it can be theoretically, but it's not
this is one of the greatest new wave albums ever
I know very little about electro swing, but what I do know about it makes it seem like music for acne'd, fedora-wearing teenagers at anime conventions
and I'm not just throwing around the fedora insult - back in high school I spent some time with fedora'd, acne'd anime kids, so I'm referring to a very specific group

Electroswing is literally shit meme genre
>>64338085
e-swing´s like taking a shit on nostalgy while pretending you´re not like those mainstream faggots with your 40´s hipster beats. cant wait for spinnin records to pic e-swing up so ultra fests start playing that turd too
i literally know nothing about electroswing
what's the big deal with it?

do you get a very specific flavor of cringe when you see people dressed up in steam punk fashion?
This is music borne out of that same flavor of cringe
Why is this album seen as being very unique, influential and avant-garde?
>>64338293
it was unique for the time, mixing that NY art punk with disco/dance pop/funk, African/Latin music, and almost proggy conceptual ambitions
I honestly don't even like it, I think they weren't as good as Lizzy Mercier Descloux... I even prefer Mink DeVille... but even with that they're still one of the most innovative bands of their era
