PURO INSTINCT - “STILYAGI”
I’m really grooving on this hipsteriffic track from last March by Puro Instinct. Featuring chillwave godfather Ariel Pink, the overtly minor-sounding guitar picking, vocals, and piano plinking of “Stilyagi” is matched only by the synth bubbling, the subtle shoegaze influence, and the vintage percussion claps during the triumphant chorus. Check out the video for plenty of shots of those dreamy Kaplan sisters (Piper and Skylar), some androgynous Miami Vice fashion victims, and some “2001: A Space Odyssey“-esque graphics. While “Stilyagi”, by Puro Instinct (formerly Pearl Harbor) may not exactly define your life, it’s a more than suitable addition to the growing collection of woozy chillwave jams. Do tha right thing, and grab a free MP3 of this unofficial single from side A of full-length Headbangers in Ecstasy here, along with a legit Datahowler rework of Ariel Pink’s “Round and Round” below the bump.
