Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews

Shopping for Mallsoft - Hologram Plaza and Yes! We're Open

Episode Summary

Mallsoft is a subgenre of vaporwave that aims to comment on our relationship with retail spaces and consumerism. By emulating and sampling muzak, often mixed with field recordings of actual stores, Mallsoft creates a sense of occupying now abandoned shopping centers. Wander the aisles of nostalgia with us as we discuss two pillar albums of the genre.
