“the beauty and the madness, the gift and the curse, the light and the dark, the ying and the yang”
Serving up techno cranial massages for the stay-at-home clubbers, We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For is the debut studio album from Poolside Nightmare, aka Oakland’s Trae Casey. The hourlong work sprays its way through skittering ambient techno (“PINK ENERGY”, “ECHO CHAMBER II”), uplifting drum & bass (“FLAT EARTH THEORY”, “EMOTIONLESS”), vapor boom bap (“STARDUST”, “ACID RAIN”), and more. In other words, it’s a kaleidoscope of dance music and hip hop beats, whirred through the artist’s single blue-tinged filter, creating a cohesive, blissed out atmosphere big enough to contain both angels and devils.
