In the late 2000s, a new type of music dropped into the YouTube playlists of students everywhere: Chillwave. The dreamy, retro pop sound is often accompanied by a lo-fi aesthetic, mellow vocals, and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Fashionista Boyfriend, the brainchild of Casey Groat, is no exception. His debut album, Last Night, oozes atmosphere from a bygone era — be it a fuzzy summer memory or a momentary microgenre.
