Hello lovely people,

Our vinyl will be finally pressed this month at Deepgrooves, so you can expect your vinyl very soon now :) Thank you for your patience and we hope you'll enjoy our vinyl & artwork!

Warm regards,
Amor & The Visual

Test pressing of the vinyls arrived. Almost there people!
We have to approve the test pressings, when that's taken care of they will produce the vinyls and send them over to us. When we got the vinyls, we'll send them to you! Stay tuned.

Can't wait!!

X The Visual

Hello lovely people,

Hope all is good! Here all is good. We have an update regarding the vinyls. As we said before the vinyls were expected to be ready february 2023 in the crowdfunding. Though Deepgrooves Leeuwarden (vinyl press) made a mistake, so the vinyls will most likely arrive in March 2023.

We keep you posted and hope they will come earlier obviously, but keep that in mind.

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Warm regards,
The Visual

Hello lovely world! We are very excited to share our new song 'It's Simple and It's Plain with you'. It's now available on all streaming platforms Listen here https://distrokid.com/.../thevis.../its-simple-and-its-plain

“I start with 'hey you', so I'm actually talking to myself. It's like looking at yourself in the mirror. I sing that I had lost sight of the child in myself. My "child" - in this case - is the most personal thing about “It’s Simple And It’s Plain” - being my gender dysphoria. I used to be very close to who I was as a child because society didn't matter that much back then. So I was actually quite free in that regard. When I looked back at photos of myself between five to eight years old, I saw a phase where I was actually very close to myself."

Hello everyone! I made a small video for you with some updates :) Check it out here!
