"‘Last American Hero’ was actually recorded in the same period as ‘Citrac’. It was after a trip to Europe, when I went back to Florida and lived with my grandparents. They live in this kind of insane gated community for senior citizens. Stuff like large flat-screen TVs, and insane Ikea couches that you can’t even sit on because they’re too big. And PT Cruisers and stuff like that. And this infrastructure of gated communities and Wal-Marts and Targets, and these complexes of shopping - that was their entire world. So when I was there, I felt like I was in this dome - this weird science experiment of consumerism. So I made that album as a collection of experiences from that environment. Todd from Olde English Spelling Bee [releasing label] decided to bring that one to light and put it on his label. I would tell Todd what my favorite releases were that I was working on, and he would just listen to me and put them out. He really pushed for ‘Last American Hero’ even though I didn’t think it should be released, really. But people seemed to like it."
1:41 The way it intentionally builds up for almost 2 minutes just to suddenly cut to the next part out of nowhere, and immediatelly after 5 seconds cut to the next part, that's beautiful
This album is like being alone at a Day's Inn somewhere in Wyoming or Texas after pulling in late at night, and the only two things surrounding the dirt parking lot of the hotel is a Home Depot and a Walmart . Poorly made, regurgitated commercials for local businesses are playing over the small flat screen TV in your hotel room. You hear the hotel staff cleaning out the vacant rooms nearby in the night, the ice machine whirring and rumbling, the sounds of worn-down truck tires hitting the dirt in the parking lot.
certain records - this one included - encapsulate esoteric feelings and ideas which reside deep down inside the furthest crevices of my being. these works induce a blissful, otherworldly catharsis in which bits and pieces of my existential fabric are projected onto my eyes. godspeed
I was just in Ashland, Ohio. This album was rushing through my bones and palpably into my mind. Felt like I was fucking dreaming. Ohio suburbs look like most other suburbs. Gotta get way out into the brush to really feel this one 100%.
as someone who has lived in ohio for 20+ years and has seen about every mile, this album reminds me more of the dry single house towns between cities in new mexico or texas
this is like standing in a worn-down gas station in an unincorporated community at night in the mid 2000's that may or may not be in the middle of the desert while mythbusters is playing on the CRT tv seated right beside the cash register at low-volume and the employee is smoking a cigarette: the album
it sounds quite a bit like Walker Texas Ranger to me... it really could be anywhere that burly men are sizing each other up, and it's a hot lonely day out there.

When I first saw this album cover I wondered what kind of music could possibly fit with it. This is practically that image converted into an audio file.
The moving guys get lost on their way to your new furniture-less house so you have to meet then between the Wendys and ACE Hardware Store in order to direct them to your street in the peak of the summer in suburban Avondale, Arizona... As your phone is dying, unfortunately so is your battery, so you hop a ride in their truck showing them the way home. Not much room in the middle section, you're sitting on a burning hot metal box in fact and the truck is bumping hard over poorly paved road, so you need to hang on tight while your crotch is being pummeled. Meanwhile the driver is CHUGGING a Mountain Dew Code Red 2 Liter like there's no tomorrow. His moving partner on his 3rd Red Line can. This is the music that is faintly and mysteriously playing on their beat up stereo. All you want to do is get home, move the damn furniture in and remove your sweat soaked jeans and relax, but In this critical moment, you completely forget the address of your new home or how to get back. it looks like you're in for the long haul, my friend!

man you know the effect that this record and just some of ferraro's stuff in general is beginning to diminish. like, especially after vaporwave's come and gone, the sort of dreamlike nostalgia and aesthetic associated emotions that i'd often be intoxicated with is something i'm growing out of. what's next? do we keep following this formula for future generations?
+Kriskazam i think the aesthetics are only a small part of it. They help to set the tone obvs but reading his interviews and stuff theres usually a lot more going on behind his works than nostalgia and aesthetics. Its an on going journey and I guess you make mistakes or get lost along the way. no formula. just keep creating bro. hope u have a good day 2day
think u might be missin the point, dreamy and nostalgic music has been around for ages and will continue to exist whether or not vaporwave continues to be relevant. you might be over dreamlike nostalgia, but that doesn't mean all of this music just because meaningless or trite, it just means you're growing out it and you've gotta go find something else to listen to lol. if you really want something different, go make it yourself.
Derek Janni I'm aware of all of that, and I'm aware that I'm just growing out of it, but vaporwave exhibits particular times, places, and feelings, etc, and the mood towards those particular things are dying down (or dead since I made that comment), doesn't mean it's meaningless or trite, in the future I can remember and observe how I felt during the time of enjoying these records, and I did for a long time I'd put em on, but now I don't immediately feel intoxicated by these feelings anymore. Not sure what point I'm missing since what you're saying is what I already wrote for the most part.
