死と生は同じです (death and life are the same) is a new release from Geometric Lullaby – which has been absolutely knocking it out of the park in the album artwork department. This hour-long release comes from the artist 疑心暗鬼. It brings together dark ambient music and vaporwave in a thoroughly creepy interpretation of ghosts and metaphysics through synth music. The label […]
