So — how do you describe "chillwave" without using words such as blissed out, tropical, hazy, sweet or dreamy? It's not big news that when words like these are continuously being used to describe this very (steadily growing) genre, they finally become no less than dull and meaningless to our ears. And here I am, trying to describe the Australian one-piece Naminé without the use of these particular words — and I find myself completely stuck: warm beats, water-like, distant synths and shoegazy vocals. Bare feet, open fields, blue skies. Korallreven meeting Ghost Society. Descriptions you've all heard a handful of times before, and still, chillwave or not, Naminé simply has this sort of honest outer glow that I'm always looking for when listening to new music — available for free downloading over at blobcamp.
