about this album
Under Bodyguard is a boundary-blurring EP by "tracy diary book", weaving together elements of experimental electronica, IDM, techno, trance, and vaportrap into a hypnotic, immersive experience. Inspired by the cryptic, dreamlike soundscapes of famous experimental duo Bodyguard, the release is a journey through pulsing rhythms, fractured melodies, and atmospheric textures, devoid of vocals yet rich in narrative depth.
