Albums of the Decade - 66. Clams Casino - Instrumentals (2011)

66. CLAMS CASINO - INSTRUMENTALS (2011)

Chunky with the bleak; this is the best pre-game manifesto still out there - as in if you want to play songs before the pub - these instrumental jams will see you through. If there was a Grand Theft Auto game to be made, set in the chillwave, cold and broken isolation of the last 10 years, then surely this album would be apt as the whole soundtrack - just saying.

Pitchfork described this mixtape back in 2011 as "woozy" and I think that it is as close as it gets. Further, I just checked up on said site, and Michael Volpe has just today announced his new album drops on November 2nd this year - I am listening now and I can't believe how opportune and seasonable this all is. It is chilly outside, but things are looking up and this can go soundtrack that shit.
