dream pop/loungey smoothcore.
smooth stuff that could be Sade songs.
sultry, smooth, forlorny. lotta keys.
little washes of sound, in and out, all over the place. lovely. in a better world, this would be on all easy listening stations. and Meowcore would be bigger than Mass Meowcore, which would be bigger than...
MR. ESQ. SEZ: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
