Just over a week ago we dropped some sick new Dorian Concept music on ya’ll and Mar went nuts when he heard “Bipolar Friendship”. He decided to record something to it, just as a tribute and cuz he thought it just sounded hella nice. Indeed it does and that’s why we had to drop this one as well. Enjoy and thanks Mar! Oh in case you were wondering…the photo was taken by Patrick Ebu-Mordi.
