I'll Try Living Like This

I'll Try Living Like This is the twelfth album by vaporwave trio Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv,[2] part of the Ghost Diamond collective,[3] released on May 15, 2015 to Bandcamp.[4] The album is one of the more recognizable albums related to vaporwave due to the group's shift in production level and style, moving from their previous "mixtape" format. The album was published by Dream Catalogue on CD, as well as cassette in a joint release with the remixed album I'll Try Living Like This (NUWRLD Version). It was removed from the label following a purge of mostly sample-based content.
