an indie rock debut about growing up before everything became instant. built on jangly guitars, driving basslines, crisp drum grooves, shimmering synths, and warm lo-fi textures, 4 Missed Calls by After School Friday Arcade blends indie rock, dream pop, and bedroom pop into an uplifting yet nostalgic soundtrack. from first loves and lifelong friendships to cassette mixtapes and unanswered phone calls, the album celebrates the people who shaped us, and the words we never found the courage to say.
This is a personal/speculative project. I used an existing piece from my collage portfolio as a starting point and explored how it might work as an album cover, creating a fictional commercial concept around it
