Comfy: “Frog Dance”
There’s garage rock Comfy, and chiptune Comfy. This is chiptune Comfy.
The latest album from the Rochester outfit is twenty-five tracks of video game vibes. As you often get with chiptune, the songs tend to be short and sweet. Each jumps on its musical conceit, like Mario hopping on Yoshi’s back, and rides it to level’s end.
Our highlighted track “Frog Dance” is a perky 8-bit jammer. Though you can divine the specific inspiration for some songs by their titles (“Birdie’s Dilemma”), other songs are more abstract gloss on the entire enterprise of gaming (“Loading…”). If you like chiptune, you’ll like the album Super Comfy World 2: the Lost Levels.
If you don’t, check them out live as a four-piece in garage rock mode.
