2022 has a serious contender for album of the year. Dropped at the tail end of April, Late Arcane’s latest record non-canon marks no less than a tour de force for the classic business casual label, delivering a smoothie blend of all the sounds you’ve come to love the label for. Sitting in the sweet spot between future funk and vaporwave, non-canon offers an uninterrupted string of flanged & slowed A E S T H E T I C bangers. Fresh as a chilled Sprite can, bittersweet like a smile after a tearful goodbye, Late Arcane is what happens when a world-renowned mixologist fixes you a cocktail of tequila and mouthwash topped with crushed jawbreaker flakes, a toothpick parasol and a tide pod for good measure.
Late Arcane ‘non-canon’ is out now via Business Casual on Bandcamp.
