A — ON SPOTIFY

A screen recording of the release, and the official player. Both the same width, both the same dark — so the section reads as one thing and not as a pile of screenshots.

B — CREDITED

Two sources, two kinds. Spotify lists it as platform metadata; 3Bangz read the credit roll out himself in a comment, and signed off on the last line.

C — THE COVER

A maggot screaming behind a net, for a track called I Am a Maggot. Saying what you actually mean online has become a luxury, and this is what the pressure looks like from the inside: mouth wide open, nothing getting out. The net is the whole argument — without it the drawing is a creature, with it the creature is caught.

D — BEFORE THE NET

The first version had no cage. It is arguably the better drawing — the splatter and the radiating hairs all read — but it is only a portrait of a creature, and the track is not about the creature. The net went on top, and most of the drawing went under it. Losing the detail was the point.

E — CANVAS

Spotify plays a silent vertical loop behind the track. The square composition does not survive the crop, so the net was rebuilt for 9:16 — same creature, rewoven cage.
