Illustrating his ability to weave across multiple sonic spaces, AUNDREY traverses between passionate melodies and gliding production to channel a love story, sharing that “'cold summer' is a love story that takes the listener through an adventure between each track as if you were playing an actual video game. The artwork created by the amazing Brandon Black symbolizes many of things such as a Sword, a Heart the number One, and also a snowy Mountain which then all ties in together throw out the EP.”
Highlighted today is the EP’s focus track "oowaa.," of which he continues the love story charm, “'oowaa.,' produced by J Myth, Bregma, and myself is a very uplifting track that takes you on a love story adventure. With jaw-dropping visuals, this record is definitely one if not my favorite track to date”. "oowaa." joins the previously released jungle bass-led 'dungeon.' and the vibrant ‘zip’, alongside three brand new tracks "chaos in the office." "needy." and "tell me when.," all of which lean into stories and cautionary tales that come straight from the heart.
