JAM25.31 ✧ How Do? An Instruction Manual for Farewells

this is my submission for the OutputCoLAB Dark Pop Arcade contest. this is probably the most 'pop' track i've ever produced, and the most i've worked with vocals. i had a lot of fun with it. i will definitely be returning to this style again.

UPSESSION Is a dive into a whirling wall of neon lights and rain soaked city streets. very inspired by the works of FKA Twigs/Arca.
