Meet Canadian producer Flowervillain. What a beautifully polar moniker. I actually spent a fair amount of time thinking about his artist name, not sure why. Must be one of my favourite new discoveries as of lately.

What's on the focus today, however, is not his name, but the homage he paid to Frank Ocean's Blonde and one of its pillar tracks "Nikes". That song always gets me. His lo-fi version titled "knockoff nikes" is basically the sonic equivalent of a mellow and gray autumn day. I am in love.
