Ambient April: Day One

   Sleep Paralysist by WrittenRadio

People always tell me they find starting something to be the hardest part. Not me. I'll probably start complaining two weeks in. But for the first track, it was a no brainer. I knew I wanted something from Neon Indian, my favorite chillwave artist. It was just a matter of picking a song with the right mix of lyrics, beat, and hook.

This particular track, Sleep Paralysist has been a conversation piece between me and my friends for weeks now. The song is composed by frontman Alan Palomo with the help of producer-genius Chris Taylor so it seems like a match made in heaven. Until you find out it was all paid for by Green Label Sound, a record label for Mountain Dew! Yeah, so basically does the sheer awesomeness of this track forgive the corporate sponsorship? Figure it out for yourself.
