## Resource

It’s the end of the month, which means we’re squeezing in one last episode dedicated to May new music! As usual, we’ve got two great albums on deck. First, we dive into Empire of Light, the latest space ambient album from vaporwave legend 猫 シ Corp. Then, we check out Philosophie du Soi, an energetic jazz fusion EP from the new duo, PAON. Join us for all that and our usual barrage of questionable shout outs!
