About this album

Chapter 18 : Lowdown is a 10-song album from VITAL, released in 2022. It's electronic and atmospheres, dark, mysterious and moody, built on synth, bass and piano. The songs run 90 to 160 BPM, in keys like E minor, G minor and D minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (bass, pulses and drums) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
