Aestetica

Meldac’s reissue of 浜田麻里's Aestetica resurrects a crucial bridge between city pop and synthwave aesthetics. Pristine analog synths and warm production recall the Japanese electronic underground of the early 1980s, where pop sensibility met experimental impulse. This is essential listening for anyone tracing the lineage from Mariah Takeuchi through contemporary vaporwave and synthwave producers.
