Being a fan of some of the singles featured on this album, I was excited to be asked to do this cover by Unfound. He came in with no real direction for the piece, and was game to have me come up with what I felt fit the overall tone of the album.

As usual, I began to get a feel by listening through the album while looking through my collection of images. Similar to other work I’ve done for musicians in this genre, I couldn’t help but feel an otherworldly quality to the synth-heavy production. However Unfound was inspired to make these tracks, I felt the visual theme of the piece should refer to some kind of messenger bringing back these sounds from somewhere else. I paired together a color wheel from an old photography book with an interesting shot of the sun from an old Life Science book. That formed a kind of portal to frame either an archetypal messenger or a city, the destination for this messenger

The messenger came in the form either of a pixellated suited man holding a cd, or a dark figure on a hovering disc. Behind these compositions were vintage ultraviolet aerial photos of Earth that brought it all back home and added to the bright color palette of the piece. Unfound chose the dark figure with the bluer background, and so I finalized the image with the label runner at Stratford.
