Exit Strategy

I've just done the sleeve for the new album by Seb Roberts based on an old photograph of the Northwestern Railroad yard in Chicago. The front sleeve shows electric light, day light on the inner and fire light on the back without a glimpse of the train at all. Very nocturnal.

Born of the Canadian prairies, tempered by American east coast, ripened by years on the road, and seasoned by all the sounds he sponged up along the way, he's played in nine bands and self-released as many albums (though almost every one under a different moniker). He's well-liked by those who know him, and is otherwise regarded with some suspicion.

'Exit Strategy' is his first release for SVC Records.

You can buy the album from the SVC Records website.

And there's more...

Thought I'd add another round-up of the latest projects going on here, gives me a chance to use another delightful old postcard of Bristol. Check out the glitter on this one, what a beauty.... anyway



The Kills campaign is now all live, there's the microsites for U.R.A. Fever and Cheap and Cheerful, the new blog at their official website The Kills and now there's the all singing and dancing 'add-you-own-postcard-for-the-album- site! at Midnight Boom. You register, log-in and then post your own interpretation of one of the tracks as a postcard, then you can send this on to a friend. The site uses some very clever php and mySQL which handles all of the resizing and the database.

Also The Last Shadow Puppets website has been changing here and there at The Age Of The Understatement. Now with more video...

I've just done a sleeve for an excellent new record coming out on SVC Records, it's for a chap called Seb Roberts and the album is called Exit Strategy. He's a Canadian who lives in Hamburg/Tokyo and his biog says that "He's well-liked by those who know him, and is otherwise regarded with some suspicion." So there you go.

Finally there are some exciting developments afoot for Genuine Photo but that's all I'm going to say on the matter for now, so watch this space.

Radiohead Remix

I've gone and remixed that Radiohead song 'Nude'. Bit of a slow start so give it a chance... there's some quite pleasant strings that I chopped up which begin about a minute in so if you get that far then good for you. Oh yes don't forget to vote!
