PC Music, Vol. 1

Released

This compilation from the label of the same name became one of the early definitive works of hyperpop. AG Cook’s twisted, distorted take on EDM and Eurodance tears down the gleaming surfaces of those genres to reveal the throbbing ache at its heart. Cook produced every track, shining on his pulsating solo anthem “Beautiful.” Hannah Diamond’s “Every Night” plays like sped-up teen pop, scaling peaks of giddy euphoria. “Laplander” by Finn Keane is an album closer that makes plain the connection between hyperpop’s wounded ecstasy and the rave music it came from.
