Akrobatik’s new album arrived

We just received samples of Ak’s new album that dropped this week. Did we mention we designed the 12in as well as the CD? We were enthusiastic about seeing the artwork on the matte finished goodness of the LP sleeve—have to say it looks pretty sweet! 

 

Flogging Molly

Our homies at Side One Dummy hired us to art direct the new Flogging Molly album. Here’s the final cover:

Along the way we developed a number of cover treatments, some that we may or may not have been more enthusiastic about, here’s a sampling:

Zox your sox off

Zox released their 3rd full-length “Line In The Sand” on Side One Dummy. These dudes from Providence, Rhode Island have crafted quite the album of indie rock joy. We designed the CD packaging as well as a new type-driven logo.

Tim McCoy

Tim McCoy is a helluva guy. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Tim and his many bands for years. Check out his solo record “Late Nights On Washington,” you’ll love it!

Absolute Value

Boston hip hop legend, Akrobatik, hired us to art direct his anxiously awaited new album, “Absolute Value,” featuring the likes of Talib Kweli, Chuck D. of Public Enemy, Mr. Lif, Bumpy Knuckles, and Little Brother.. Perhaps you’ve heard him on the new NFL / Diet Pepsi TV spots, nice work Ak.   

 

Fisticuffs

Need some CD or DVD manufacturing? Look no more my friend, our pals + partners, Icon Omnimedia can do it all, and with stellar customer service to boot! Heck, we even just designed a swanky new split promo with them, ourselves and Eulogy Records. It’s cleverly titled “Fisticuffs”. Check out the dope foil stamp + embossed digipak, mmmmmmmm:

 

Township

This year’s WBCN Rumble winners, Township, cashed in on their coveted Alphabet Arm prize and had their new record, “Coming Home”, designed “on the house”, even nabbed a brand spankin’ new logo out of the deal. Thin Lizzy would be proud:

 

Big Head Todd and the Monsters

We’ve been designing just about everything for Big Head Todd and the Monsters new release “All The Love You Need”, from the band’s new logo, promo CDs, admats, tour merch, posters, the whole shebang.

We’ve been using a ton of our photography for the packaging which always makes us incredibly happy:

WellDiggers Banquet

We recently designed the packaging for the WellDiggers Banquet CD. They are an alt-country band out of Los Angeles. They were quite easy to work with throughout the entire process, which was really refreshing.

 

Whoever can guess where we shot the tanks used in the packaging will get a shiny new Alphabet Arm pin!
