Pastel Waves: A Yacht-Rock and Marina-Pop, Afternoon Cruise

Skip to Tracks
Yacht-Rock was a smooth laid-back sound that emerged in the late 70s and early 80s. Its more recent revival has the kids calling it Marina-Pop. This distant cousin to Vaporwave, will tickle your ear, as its effervescent vibe uplifts your early afternoon into a full-on delight.

"Marina-pop" hits it right on the mark. Definitely a re-imagining of the grooving along "yacht-rock" days driving down country or mountain roads with your arm out the window and your girlfriend's bare feet up on the dash. your selections hit that groove and are making my day out in the garden with the music pumped with my trusty Garden Gnome supervising the planting
