I'm lucky to be friends with the extremely talented Kadie McGinley who rocks absolute socks as part of The Delta Slow. We were looking for a project to collaborate on and their upcoming EP launch was the perfect chance. The record is brilliant and was recorded at Old Paradise Studios in Hoxton. For the artwork, Kadie and me took an evening to explore the area around the studio and take some photographs. The towering, decaying gas cylinders in the area were inescapable and became the basis for the EP artwork. A few chats over pints and some listening sessions of the music sent me in the direction of the finished artwork. From that point it all came together pretty quickly, as the band and me were almost instantly on the same aesthetic page.
Half tones and vectors recur, setting up contrasts while keeping the images in stark black and white. The designs work for laser and screen printing and the band will be putting out copies of both in the next few weeks. I'll follow this up at some point with pics of the screen print session and other bits we created for the EP launch. It's been seriously fantastic collaborating with such exciting musicians on this one: make sure you give them a listen and grab the EP.
