I did most of the work for this LP while on the road with Nick Tape in the US last spring/early summer. The lyrics were handwritten in Portland, Oregon, occupying the home-office desk of Justin who used to play drums in
Time To Escape. A whole lot of Photoshop editing was done in Jasmine
Torso's punk house in Oakland, where we stayed for two-three days during Coke Bust's gigs in the Bay-Area. I did my best to take sharp photos of lyrics while cramped into a very tiny touring vehicle, and spent endless hours of trying to edit the photos to make sure it didn't come through that the sun had been shining in differently upon them depending on what direction we were driving and what time of the day it was. Plus the occasional cloud. I printed everything in DC, and then took new photos of the lyrics taped onto pizza delivery boxes. To sum up: not the best of circumstances, but a lot of cool memories.
I have previously done Agent Attitude's EP from earlier this year, for which we opted for a more clean, straight forward design. I am happy with parts of that, but I don't think the front cover worked very well. This time around the band supplied me with the front cover drawing, plus the drawing on the lyric sheet. The big photo of Jakob on the lyric sheet was taken by James of Coke Bust in Europe the summer of 2013.
For the labels, we went for a classic design, and exchanged the usual copyright yadda yadda text along the edges with two longer quotes from classic bands from Uppsala, the city Agent Attitude comes from. The A-side is a quote from
Äppelkarters, the B-side from
Diskonto.
Thanks to Johan Monument, Jakob Adult Crash and the band for letting me do this!
