猫 シ Corp.

猫 シ Corp. is an influential figure in the Vaporwave and Mallsoft genres, active since 2013, 猫 シ Corp. crafts music that explores themes like consumerism, nostalgia, and digital aesthetics. 猫 シ Corp. often uses elements like Smooth Jazz, elevator music, and the sounds of shopping malls to capture the feel of a lost commercial utopia. Some of 猫 シ Corp.'s best-known works include Palm Mall, Hiraeth, and News at 11. Palm Mall is particularly iconic within the Mallsoft subgenre, a style of Vaporwave that recreates the atmosphere of 80s/90s shopping malls, while Hiraeth (a Welsh word referring to a deep sense of longing or nostalgia) dives into a combination of Classic Vaporwave and Ambient, leaning toward Virtual Utopian and Solarpunk ideas. In recent years, 猫 シ Corp. has gradually shifted focus from Classic Vaporwave to a more Ambient-driven style, evolving the sound to explore deeper, more introspective themes. Building a Better World marks this shift, drawing listeners into dreamlike jungle planet environments and futuristic spaces. 猫 シ Corp. aims to merge Ambient soundscapes with Vaporwave’s nostalgic core. This evolution has cemented 猫 シ Corp.'s place in the Ambient music landscape, expanding beyond traditional Vaporwave to explore new territory.
