Change-Leopardon-A-Small-Bees- Nest Change Leopardon 's latest release ' Gaiden ' is a dreamy menagerie of sound and ethereal rhythms. The tracks juke between dreamy instrumental ambiance and shoe gaze wonders.

Phantom melodies play back up in other tracks, the vocals usually playing a minimal role but that is not to say they are at all [...]

I was sure that by the end of 2009, chillwave would be dead, but it's quickly becoming the genre that just won't quit . Change Leopardon isn't a chillwave project, but it dabbles. It's fronted by a CT music producer with pretty varied tastes. His debut EP, Juchitán , is unapologetic as it shifts from the drone-heavy distortion of " FIghty Cat " to the feedback-laced minimalism on " Cenotes ."

Here's a track graduated from the school of new age crystals chopped and screwed by Oneohtrix Point Never's crew, slathered with a flattering layer of ambient bliss, and locked into some square beats for the long ride from the bandcamp page to your hard drive.

Change Leopardon – Canvas Shoes In celebration of the well of bad 80s shit being mostly dry, Change Leopardon's pillaged some of that totally overdone decade's legitimately rad sounds. Totally into this song's twinkly tropicalia vibes and tastefully deployed Tom Tom Club sample; sounds artificially bright like a giant plastic mall Christmas tree but more druggy. Our boy Change Leopardon, aka Ren Sanchez, lives in Purchase, NY (which is described as a "hamlet") and does all this cool shit just with voice and guitar and laptop but somehow sounds more substantial & interesting than [...]
