JOSHUA+ — "DEAD AND BURIED" SINGLE

In spring 2021, the Absorb. label released the single "DEAD AND BURIED" by experimental hip-hop artist JOSHUA+. The single expunded on the early successes of JOSHUA+'s first two singles, "PHARAOH" and "MAYDAY". 

For the visual system, we created an array of "b-horror film" visuals, including psychedelic skulls, custom "blood drip" typeface, and gravestone icon pieces. These components were used in both animated and static interpretations, setting a distinct mood for the song's mortality-defying narrative. 

"DEAD AND BURIED" is available on all platforms now.
