George Clanton, fka Mirror Kisses, makes cyber-music about cyber-dreams. Blending retro-futurism with a lo-fi sci-fi shine, his Mirror Kisses project has always been his bedroom pop gone widescreen outlet. Today, he’s dropping that name in favor of his own in conjunction with “Wonder Gently.” On closer inspection of “Wonder Gently,” he really couldn’t have picked a better song to transform his project with.
Taken from the forthcoming album, 100% Electronica, the vehement track takes on the criticisms of vaporwave, chillwave, and DIY pop in general directly with some particularly biting lyrics. “Maybe you could write your own song and listen to it all alone” he sings during the song’s powerful second half, proving once again, that this isn’t just music anyone could make in their own bedroom, as this is something entirely his.
