Chuck Vibes – Gthm

GTHM is artist Chuck Vibes’ debut album, formatted utilizing his 2 EPs in one collection. “i wrote this in gotham” (Oct. 2023) and “i wrote this in gotham too” (Jan. 2025). Vibes delivers a deeply personal and genre-defying project, blending the rebellious spirit of 80s post-punk with the frenetic chaos of break-core. The result is an emotionally charged collection of short, sharp songs that are as cathartic as they are captivating. 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. With influences ranging from The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins to underground break-core artists, GTHM dives deep into the post-punk and electronic abstraction. 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. RIYL: post-punk, new wave, goth, alternative FFO: The Cure, 100 gecs, Urban Heat, Joy Division Orange & Black Marble (Retail variant of 170 copies).
