This track is just a lofi afternoon.
I recorded my Acoustic  drums through a Yamaha Ead and produced the music with ableton.

Started first with some drums then just went nuts finding samples and tweaking knobs in ableton.  It became the music for a dark poem about heartbreak. This is the instrumental ,, I tried to capture gritty in my usual lofi way :)
