Nooflebot A wonderfully upbeat, modern, and clean album. If Far Side Virtual was more structured and focused almost solely on modern tech (2004 - Now) this is what it would sound like. It has a very clean 'researched' (I buy what I see in ads) consumer vibe that I really enjoy. A musical representation of products and places. Favorite track: 3D Pool Designer.

DigitalSwitchboard Great tracks on this album. All tracks are amazingly unique but as a coherent album they are a force of nature. Favorite track: Bose Lifestyle.

Alex Pennini So much vaporwave ends up just being slowed down samples - this is one of the few INCREDIBLE albums.
I have so many favorite tracks of this album, they sound like dystopia melodies for corporations in the future. Highly recommend this album, it's full of great tunes and memorable melodies. Favorite track: Nespresso.

about

LARP of Luxury is a new adventure through Desire and Sound by New Zealand’s digital-fantasist: Eyeliner. Nine tracks of romanced-commodities re-imagined as a virtual-vacation destinations and add-to-cart artifacts. From the kinetic-grooves and intimate finger-swipes of “iPod Touch” to the exfoliating pristine-reverb wash of “The North Face”, LARP of Luxury is the perfect augment to a contemporary life full of near-futures longing. Crystalline CPU-conservative VSTs paint a Nu-World of potential and promise, where products dissolve into ephemeral lifestyle-choices and recycled genres occupy our subconscious cached for future purchases; musical concepts as prole-drift-desktop-wallpaper, the marketplace soundtrack to the virtual muscle-bound avatar.

Eyeliner is the alias of one Luke Rowell of Wellington, New Zealand, synthesist, producer and deep-thought enthusiast. LARP of Luxury is the follow up to his popular “High Fashion Mood Music”, considered a definitive example of the netmusic genre #vaporwave. Eyeliner renders thought-tools into musical-environs, exploring where post-consumer/post-scarcity “vibes” collide with real-world artists’ toast-again poverty.

LARP of Luxury is the roleplay of desire, the act of fashion, a post-consumer social-network profile of an artist faking comfort. Let Eyeliner soundtrack your life-pretend, add new totems of promise to your iTunes playlist. Join Eyeliner as he stares through the Windows. Download a brand new desktop-theme for 2013, indulge in a LARP of Luxury and live the lifestyle you deserve.
