Dear Friend,

Salutations, chap. It has been a quite a cold series these days and weeks. There has been ice-a-plenty, and the freezeful winds whisper sweet-nothings, such as "you're not about this life, pal. go back inside"

I sit in my chamber writing this to you, lamp lit. I'm grateful for this warmth... I'm not talking about the lamp. Deep in the monochrome solitude of my manor, my heart burns... in the romantic way. And it is all caused by the heat of this new and outstanding album, 'new time romantic', by crazygoji.

As a fellow romantic, it would be in your best interest to listen to this album. Its pleasant goofs and lovable romps has evoked feelings within myself that I haven't felt since I have been acquainted with you. Do you remember that windy April day where we laid outside on the hills eating watermelon? Somehow, I was reminded of this memory while listening to the album opener, 'watermelon good times', my heart and body immediately put into a trance.

crazygoji doesn't hold back this expression of romance. The subaqueousness of 'operators anonymous' brought me back to times in Costa Rica, where we joyously swam with the mysterious dolphins. 'major simpleton' immersed me back into the tranquil times at my humble manor with you, watching The Simpsons in the newly installed IMAX theatre. 'max goof' and 'spotless' took me back to the clubs in Ibiza, where Jodie Foster herself (I'm quite sure it was her... although she seemed a bit tall... hm...) complimented our romanticful dance moves. Does this excite you? I am confident you are making that face you always made when you got excited. I'm chuckling just imagining it... it kind of looked like this emote: (⓿_⓿)

But I digress.

'times new romantic' perfectly captures the halcyon days of our very romantic relationship together. After we separated I became cold and bitter, like the dry air of winter. However, this music has reinvigorated my capacity to love. I feel jubilant. I feel vivacious. Goofy. Romantical.

As you listen to these sounds, I believe it's power will lift your spirits as well, it's sheer groove and jovial atmosphere will have you embracing the love of the Earth itself. Believe me! I have hugged the floor a few times during my listening of this album, which is quite odd... I'm not sure how it made me do all that.

As I finish writing this letter, I hope that you are well. These new times are uncertain. But I am sure you will prosper... romantically.

Sincerely yours,

Archibald Buttsqueak


"Oh good heavens... 'bubbly brain' has, without a doubt, turned my brain into bubbles!"
— Archibald Buttsqueak, hugging the floor

"This album is really nice. I just could not stop dancing. 'seven deez' had me doing the worm! Made me remember the time I complimented that sick dancing couple in Ibiza."
— Jodie Foster (I'm like 65% sure. She looks just like her, though...)

"I was glad a friend of mine recommended this album to me. I haven't heard from him in years but I was really surprised to get a letter yesterday. Not really sure how he's doing though... he couldn't stop talking about 'times new romantic' and hugging floors... he's probably OK."
— Zoogarg the Alien

Priz Tats is proud to present Aurora Memoria, the latest release from digi-wunderkind and Manhattan producer DV-i. Brilliantly showcased as the soundtrack to an interactive Visual Novel, Aurora Memoria is a 5 song ultra-concept EP full of lush, digitally-quantized bellscapes punctuated by samples, sweeps and FM blips. Set in the neutropic, hyper-evolved megalopolis 'Fuji City,' this interactive Visual Novel-written by Callie Beusman-is an inspired new take on a medium colloquially referred to as the 'dating-sim'.

Aurora Memoria allows the player character up to five divisive plot courses which wind their way through a multitude of rich CG and vector-illustrated backdrops and character designs complemented by nuanced dialogue and branching plot arc. A concept release to its very core, DV-i’s Aurora Memoria material format will be equally as stunning. This interactive release will be loaded onto a 4-gigabyte Secure Digital (SD) card with custom printed decal and housed in a 3d printed, thermoplastic case--this, of course, all designed by DV-i as well. 

“Aurora Memoria is a comprehensive multimedia exploration of science fiction, japanese anime, corporate audio-logos and the studio ghibli-blue-and-green optimism of a Sony-developed speculative lifestyle. Punctuated by the very real fears of a post-climate change, mass data-culled surveillance society, Aurora Memoria is fused together by a combination of IDM, Japanese Technopop, drum-n-bass and Yamaha digital synths (with a sprinkling of fictionalized teenage angst).”

Lyrics:

Cup your hands and give me your vibrations.
Give me peace of mind dismantle my frustrations.
It doesn’t matter if i’m missus or mister.
Just comfort me through your soft tender whisper.

Cup your hands and give me your vibrations.
Tell me to unwind, i need a new foundation.
Ignore my wounds, my bruises, and blisters.
Just comfort me through your soft tender whisper.


Take a moment you’re overreacting.
Breathe in your mouth and out through your nose.
Think about every soul your impacting.
From every little word you compose.

But when you talk you’re just trapped inside you head, planning out what you say, contemplating what you said.

Don’t be so loud, you’ll have your chance to speak, you’re running out of breath, so just turn the other cheek.

it’s not so bad
maybe you should try it
you might be glad
if you keep quiet

Noteworthy things:
Thank you nelward for contributing stems for Fashion to be remixed, even though it wasn't a "true" DESKPOP release!
It's been a long time since dynastic made an appearance, but gosh DANG they still be makin slappers.
Drive45 basically made an entire original song that's contained within his remix of "whisper" so please read through his original lyrics!
& welcome JACKINTOSH PLUS, making his first audio appearance on DESKPOP after helping out with graphic art here and there since 2016!
