Released in June 2021, by Prague-based artist Marvel83' is a concept album that trades typical retrowave beach vibes for a narrative journey through deep space. Across its ~38-minute runtime, it uses carefully synthesized instrumentation to simulate taking off for the stars and eventually landing a spacecraft. Key Tracks & Highlights
: The album's short length makes "filler" tracks more noticeable. Reviews on Yestermade™ suggest that tracks like "Entering the Stratosphere" are largely forgettable, and "On and On" can feel repetitive.
