I listen to lots of stuff that I'm sure very few people know about. But I stumbled on this album on bandcamp, and even though it's very well done lo-fi synth pop that sounds like Boards of Canada mixed with Survivor, it doesn't seem to have any fans even on bandcamp, where almost everything that's quality has some following.

No links to social, doesn't rank in most popular, no recommendations, even though this is the sort of release that thrives on bandcamp. And unlike a lot of kitschy lofi synth pop (this is definitely kitschy), these are fully formed pop songs with rock-star style vocals. It almost feels like they're going out of their way to be inscrutable, like this is a secret project from someone well known. Or, maybe more likely, it's just way too easy for quality music to fall through the cracks these days.
