PASTEL GOLDEN WAVES: yacht rock, soft disco, and smooth soul from the '70s and '80s

Skip to Tracks
PASTEL GOLDEN WAVES is a mellow dive into deep-cut yacht rock, soft disco, and smooth soul from the '70s and '80s. No chart hits—just warm, analog gems that shimmer like twilight on tape. The golden-era counterpart to my Pastel Waves series. We visit the origins of what the kids today are calling Marina-Pop, in its OG form.

Gotta be KD
Two tracks into it and I'm loving it already. I know there is a lot of work and talent that goes into what you're doing and it shows in the polished end results from the music, track intros and even the poster art. Thanks for all your efforts Mr. F. - I TRUEly appreciate it.
