George Clanton, Neggy Gemmy [outside]

George Clanton – not to be confused with legendary Parliament-Funkadelic bandleader George Clinton – makes the type of trippy, nostalgic electronic music that the kids in 2010 used to call vaporwave. Churning with slow trip-hop beats and dripping in reverb, Clanton’s liminal compositions perfectly befit the ever-conflicted internet generation, full of teenagers who romanticize the unplugged past on internationally connected social media forums. Following 2023 solo release Ooh Rap I Ya, the artist’s latest project, 2024’s Fauxllennium, taps TikTok viral indie pop band TV Girl for stronger hooks and more discernible vocals.
