Waist up in Gold / Gunslingers

As the band’s Creative Director I’m able to look at each release campaign with a holistic approach.

For this release I created single artwork, along with an animated cover, photography for press, a limited edition zine, a short documentary on the recording process and a music video.

The band’s new psych pop direction inspired the multiple eyes and echoing imagery, which was rolled out in different ways across the campaign.

Campaign photography was shot in RAW on iPhone 7, experimenting with prisms and filters to reflect the style of the single artwork.
