Producer’s debut has more depth than a lot of stuff that’s been tagged as chillwave.
Although the music on Galactic Melt – the debut album, and first actual physical release, by Com Truise – is the culmination of several years’ worth of noodling around on myriad synths and computer programs, in 2011 it sits in a voguish place. Seth Haley, the figure behind this New Jersey-based solo project, seems to have little problem with acknowledging the part nostalgia plays in his imagery. Track titles include VHS Sex, Cathode Girls and Futureworld (presumably named after the 1976 sci-fi movie); his album artwork suggests Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures crossed with an Atari 2600 game box. All this, plus the goofy spoonerised moniker, is painfully emblematic of chillwave: one of those micro-genres which start almost in jest but slowly take root.
