One listen to VIDEOGRAM’s self-titled assemblage of analog era-influenced aural creations, and you’ll be launched into a track by track journey through a dynamic yet culturally cohesive audio universe offering an array of thematic influences and audio signatures culled from some of our most watched video era gems.
