I've been working on my new album for the last 18 months and so have finally gotten to the artwork too. It's an album of contrasts, rooted in a rural vs urban vibe. After several rounds of concepts I ended up here, contrasting bone and metal, silver and gold. Below is a series from the shoot I did at home. Each of these are featured in the album art.
I also explored a lot of hand painted type contrasted with Helvetica Neue Bold Condensed. While the character of each was interesting, I chose the blockier version for the final art because it had a more urban vibe.

The record will be available in April. There is still a bit of mixing to do and then mastering will take a while. Urban Turks Country Jerks will fit in a playlist with Deerhunter, Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth.
