Dani King close out the EP, offering a mix of dreamy melodies and Tape B’s trademark bass-heavy sound.

‘This is an ode to Hallow Tapes, and kinda like a second version of it. it was supposed to come out on Halloween but it wasn’t ready in time and we didn’t want to rush anything. This EP feels like a great representation of where I’m at with music production at the moment… Overall, this EP is supposed to be the essence of fall season and capture the feeling of nostalgia and what fall feels and sounds like to me, I hope y’all enjoy.’
