Ok, I knew there was a missing link between my tastes and Diplo’s tastes and I MAY HAVE JUST FOUND IT! But we’ll see.
Nicholas Krgovich is a current day indie musician who does super sparkly, jazzy, hi-fi 80’s style pop that I adore. And it uses that aesthetic to portray loneliness and obscurity dreaming of fame and glamour, a lousy aspiring actor gazing across the water at a marvelous Hollywood party on the opposite shore.
amazing
they are doing a retrospective of Steely Dan today with glowing reviews of 5 albums btw

I was finally persuaded to tolerate a single steely dan track
this is actually good
Like, still dorky but not antiseptic or hostile to the idea of musical expression
