Post-punk artist Chuck Vibes returns with the highly-anticipated follow-up to his buzzed-about debut EP, i wrote this in gotham, now formatted as a 12” vinyl. Featuring i wrote this in gotham (2023) on the A-side and i wrote this in gotham too (2025) on the B-side. Vibes delivers a deeply personal and genre-defying project, blending the rebellious spirit of 80s post-punk with the frenetic chaos of break-core, indie rock and goth. The result is an emotionally charged collection of short, sharp songs that are as cathartic as they are captivating.

Hailing from Spokane, Washington, Vibes’ music reflects the complex layers of his journey—growing up on his own, experimenting with different musical styles, and seeking his own identity through sound. “These struggles come out in my music—it’s melancholy but upbeat,” he shares. Vibes’ eclectic sound pulls from a wide palette, fusing goth, emo, punk, indie rock, hip-hop, and electronic subgenres like breakbeat, witch house, and trap.

With influences ranging from The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins to underground break-core artists, i wrote this in gotham too dives deeper into the post-punk and electronic abstraction hinted at in the original EP. Whether you connect with its shadowy themes or its raw energy, this release cements Chuck Vibes as an artist with one foot in the future and the other firmly rooted in the underground.

Vibes has dropped two captivating singles: “MY ASHTRAY IS FULL,” a beat-driven anthem with jagged guitars and raw emotional urgency, and “NYLA,” a dream-pop-inspired track laced with heartbreak and shimmering new wave synths. These songs offer a glimpse into Vibes’ evolving sound, where moody atmospheres meet infectious grooves.

Tracks on this release showcase Vibes’ signature abstract lyrics over rugged beats, ethereal soundscapes, and chiming guitars. His vocals shift effortlessly from soulful intensity to cool detachment, channeling an anxious energy that fuels his brief yet powerful compositions. “I’m an anxious person, and that’s why my songs are so short,” Vibes admits. “There’s a sense of release—like Adderall in music form.”

This release is a must-have for fans of The Cure, Joy Division, the new wave revival or bedroom electro pop artists such as Eyedress, Current Joys, and Ekkstacy, delivering both reflective moments and bursts of cathartic punk expression. This limited-edition vinyl is more than an album—it’s a statement and a snapshot into a premier up and coming artists’ evolution of sound.
