necessary evil - animated music video
animated by Midnight Peacemaker
Included within this Digital Deluxe Interactive EP player are all of the liner notes you would expect in a deluxe gatefold packaging. Artwork (created by the band’s own Mike Nissen), lyrics, credits, and also story behind each song is included in the player’s UI. In addition to that it comes with all the experience (utility) that digital collectibles can offer in the form of token gated access to future Talk Time events, airdrops, presale list to other upcoming Props Labs projects, and more (including early listening access to the forthcoming EP produced by 9x Grammy winning Darrell Thorp [Radiohead, Beck, Paul McCartney] at Village Studios in Los Angeles).
