Manchester based artist DR MYSTERY has released a deeply evocative music video for ‘8888’, a track taken from her ‘euphoria’ EP. The video positions itself as a commentary on the complexity of grief. Rather than the traditional portrayal of loss, this visual narrative focuses on how shared experiences can become a way to process emotions that aren’t easily spoken about. Through subtle, authentic storytelling, ‘8888’ captures how the bonds of friendship and the energy of shared experiences can bring catharsis in times of loss.
