[ losing a second contestant was too much. something gives. the latent fear and paranoia of those trapped in dinkle's domain, previously a constant background hum, swells into something suffocating. the effects are instantaneous. the immune system cares not for subtlety now. ]

This is one of two unreleased FULL tracks I made for INTO THE BACKROOMS, a primarily YouTube-based tournament run by @adrien-but-on-stereo-2, who did all of the art (including the thumbnail!). I had been following this tournament since its inception back in... I want to say 2022?... because the premise was interesting enough to warrant speculation. I mean, a backroom trapped in their own contestants? What could be more fascinating than that?

In the end, it just turned out to be a regular tournament, but I think it could've been a hell of a lot more with a few more available resources and/or time in the oven. It has been an honour seeing Adrien improve steadily with music as time went on, and I hope wherever he ends up next is somewhere he'll be able to share his gifts in a more impactful way.

This track wouldn't have been possible without the help of @inkybomb65, so give them my love. I'll be posting the other track in about a week or so. In the meantime, enjoy the show, and vote responsibly... you'll never know whose life could be on the line.
