About the artwork
In the supermarket is a videos song part of The Consensus of Reality. This one is the longest song, the more hyperpop, and aslo, the more critical, it take the supermarket as a main character, and the supermarket revels himself, throwing boxes, stopping advertizer and products to the humans and the shoping carts running wild, all of this thinking when you are a kid and get lost in the supermarket, everything is wonderful and a great adventure, until you realize that you are lost.
Music with suno ai.
