Mode 8

mode8 #13: Splatfest!

Welcome back to this week’s mode8! This episode is another conveniently-timed assemblage of music that neatly ties in with an upcoming release, and this time it’s Splatoon 3 – not just tracks from the franchise but other music that carries a similar vibe to the games. (Also, can someone explain why the Eiffel Tower is like this in-game)
