I actually really like that I have obscure and pointless knowledge about game stuff.

Like, I'm not an encyclopedia, but god damn.

Most of the time I think that everyone knows what I know so what's special about my particular manner of having an interest, but then I realize "Oh, oh right that's not common knowledge. Oh, oh right that's from a book I read specifically to know more about an already niche part of games. Oh, oh yeah."

Like I recognize Mappy at a glance. The more years pass by this Earth the less recognizable seeing either the game itself or the mouse on the cover becomes, I got it locked in my head case.

R-Zone? I got it up there at all times, ready to go, you won't slip that thing passed me.

Oh is that the Vectrex? My beloved???

You didn't know there was an infinite soldier spawning glitch in The Outfit from 2006? You don't remember THE OUTFIT? Only one of the first year games for the 360, how didn't you remember it???

What?? You didn't know that the winter 1999 Gamepro magazine said "Pokesex?" in it? But that's burned into my brain forever because I read it as a kid and immediately got nervous that I shouldn't let my mom see it since I was a huge pokemon fan!!

Oh, oh right.

Vector image file formats are graphics file formats that store images as mathematical equations or geometric shapes, rather than a grid of pixels like raster image formats. This allows vector images to be scaled to any size without losing quality. Here are some common vector image file formats:

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): SVG is an XML-based vector image format that is widely used for web graphics. It is an open standard that can be easily edited with a text editor.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript): EPS is a file format that can contain both vector and raster graphics. It is often used for print design and is compatible with various graphic design software.

AI (Adobe Illustrator): AI is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, a popular vector graphics editor. AI files can store both vector and raster data and are primarily used for editing within Illustrator.

PDF (Portable Document Format): PDF is a versatile file format that can store both vector and raster graphics. It is widely used for documents and presentations and can be opened with various software applications.

CDR (CorelDRAW): CDR is the native file format of CorelDRAW, another vector graphics editor. It is used for saving designs and illustrations created in CorelDRAW.

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format): DXF is a file format developed by Autodesk and is commonly used for exchanging vector graphics between different CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications.

WMF (Windows Metafile): WMF is a vector graphics format used by Microsoft Windows applications.

Garrett Atterberry - Vectrex

(Electropop, Synthpop, Alt-Pop)

Garrett Atterberry’s third full length pulls out every trick he has, breakbeats and psychedelic rap and dramatic balladry all part of Vectrex’s brilliant formula. It’s a colorful, bold, and lovingly overstuffed album that makes the most of his maximalist production and greater confidence as a vocalist.

☆☆☆☆½

Garrett Atterberry’s music is a combination of luxurious pop and a messy interior world, his sound the result of endless self-teaching and a constant pursuit of connection. It’s what made the best moments of his sophomore album Fairchild Channel F, surprise turns into pop rock and industrial dance-pop and atmospheric indie folk surprising but always delightful despite how far off course they veered, his wonderfully layered production and subtle vocals the throughline for it all. In the last two years, though, he’s further refined his style while holding onto all its distinctive qualities, his third and latest album Vectrex a loving overstuffed album that makes the most of his maximalist production and greater confidence as a vocalist, still jumping between genres and placing every texture he can fit in there but tightening the hooks and committing to a cohesive atmosphere even if he’s focused on playful hyperpop or brooding pop rap. It feels much longer than its 37 minute runtime because of how much is going on, pulling you into Atterberry’s world and balancing out weighty pop songs with slow jams and atmospheric electronica until there’s few other pop albums this year able to match its addictive formula. Vectrex knows what makes good pop stick and fuses it with his impossibly detailed production - it’s easy to see why it sticks the landing.

Atterberry’s writing and tone haven’t changed much, still painting in broad strokes with lyrics focused on heartbreak and mental instability, but it’s the triumphant tone and reinforced core of the music he uses to hold Vectrex together. Lead single Waste builds on its industrial percussion and buzzing pads with swirling vocoders that makes its anxious pining thick and overwhelming, later released in the warmth of The Road Home and Flatline Hotline’s final plea for understanding, the outline of Vectrex’s narrative found in the push-and-pull between waiting on connection and all the hope and anger between those few moments of release. The album’s first half is a killer six-track run, going from Sunshine (Like a Butterfly)’s apocalyptic electropop into the explosive back-to-back synthpop of Executioner and Heart Racer into the murky pop rap cut Mayday and Remains’ gorgeous drum and bass, culminating in the fiery centerpiece Light for a finale of jersey club drums and gospel harmonies - spreading the album out track by track might seem straightforward, but it outlines how Atterberry’s music can change in an instant, always pushing the boundaries of what can fit into his wiry electronica. There’s dozens of things to point out in any song here, be it Heart Racer’s panning arcade synths or the vocal sampling in New Vortex fully revealed in the outro, Vectrex filled with all these little things that make the full experience so fulfilling, sitting squarely in the sound and energy of homemade pop and operating on the idea that being able to make music on your own time should result in the fullest sound possible. Atterberry’s got as much time as he desires to pull off his vision, and Vectrex reaps the highest possible rewards from that.

All this detail can come at a cost to clarity, which is where the few rough spots of Vectrex reveal themselves. Vocal harmonies can feel unevenly balanced due to Atterberry’s lower voice and the digital effects needed to add those higher octaves, Sunshine (Like a Butterfly)’s chorus noticeably muddy between the thick chord layers and electric guitars and noisy drumming, while the undeniably lovely The Road Home is mixed quieter to fit in Atterberry’s dark bass voice, leading guest vocalist TaylorMae to stick out in her verse - none of these little things are enough to cause any major issues, but Atterberry’s fine tuning of the production for himself can leave features and certain instrumentation exposed much more than the rest, the monumental force of his music still tailored foremost to him. That’s not to say there aren’t fantastic features: hyperpop darling saoirse dream makes an appearance on the penultimate Flatline Hotline with a short and sweet verse atop its breakbeat drumming and thick piano chords; That Guy Veezy drops one of his strongest verses to date on the trippy final half of Mayday; shoegazer Divine Intentions layers their voice in hyperpop voice filters for the ear candy chorus of Heart Racer; but these features are given distinct sections where the production can be brought down to their level, whereas TaylorMae or The Arizon don’t fit in nearly as tight in their respective tracks. Regardless, Vectrex's uncompromising nature and passionate energy takes it all the way to the finish line, Atterberry’s quest for a steady path diverging across twelve lovely songs that make it clear how powerful he is with a specific and singular goal in mind.

A ton of ideas in just 37 minutes, Vectrex makes good on its promises, not a moment going to waste as Atterberry creates synthpop as catchy as it is adventurous. He never loses sight of what makes his music tick, even when drifting off into drum and bass or moody piano ballads, always daring to add one more level to his music and see how he can twist and turn it to fit somewhere in the mix. There’s no telling where he might go, but when he does reveal it the results are always electrifying - how many other albums would be so ambitious as to include a romantic dream pop cut between two of its heaviest electronic songs? It’s a joy from start to finish, cataloging the emotional waves of an uneven relationship and the loneliness that comes with every moment. His writing may speak of insecurity and confusion, but his music undoubtedly is not: Vectrex knows what it wants to be, and Atterberry materializes its every wish. He may still be doing it all on his own, but it’s tough to imagine him doing it any other way, Vectrex’s galactic pop achieved completely on his own terms. It’s a lot, and that’s exactly how he pulls you in.
