Love & Marriage | Hate & Divorce: Spring 2024 Issue

Love & Marriage | Hate & Divorce

This issue of Vinyl Tap Magazine attempted to dissect the intrinsic, dualistic nature of love and hatred, and to understand the ways in which experiences of the sonic or visual can enhance emotion. Think: shotgun wedding, getting ready while experiencing dread, feeling as though you’ve made a horrible mistake, a cake destroyed, mismatched dresses, elopement, lace, quilts, success and failure, stolen kisses, mascara tear stains, first and last dances, and the overwhelming feeling that so much could have been different.
