We open with gear talk and end in the heart of a song: VHS is a haunted look at memory, written to feel like a choice to sink and a choice to surface. We map the track’s story, share mix decisions, and chart the EP’s path with honest timelines and a clear creative brief.
• VHS as nostalgic grief framed as a ghost that pulls you under
• Breakdowns, syncopation, and when rhythm serves story
• Haunting cover art motifs and a visual language of hands
• Distribution via UnitedMasters and discovery beyond social
• EP scope, interlude plans, and realistic delivery window
• Finding a cleaner vocal identity and redoing older tracks
