The Honeydogs: New EP Art & Design(!)

We just finished a really fun project with The Honeydogs, a great band out of Minneapolis. They just released their new EP "Sunshine Committee", and we were fortunate enough to help create all the design for the limited release. (Band biography here)

The creative process was a fun collaboration with the band's singer/songwriter, Adam Levy. The various designs we presented were eventually narrowed down, so that the focus of the vibe that this release needed to communicate came through loud and clear.

A nice review and interview with Adam Levy can be found here:

By the way, you can go buy a copy at iTunes or better yet, support the band by getting it straight from them here: www.honeydogs.com/discography.php#sunshine

Here's a sneak peak at the ones that didn't make the cut for a variety of reasons:







Here's the real deal, hope you enjoy the audio and the visual...

Oldie but Goodie CD package design

We thought it'd be cool to post some older CD package work of ours, although the band here never did quite make it big...or make it at all. But the duo that made up "Organized Confusion" seemed to have fun while making their unique brand of music, so it makes sense that we had fun working on this one. We even took the photo of the building in downtown Asheville, NC for the spread section. The band's earlier work has been described as "sounding like two children banging on pots and pans with drumsticks while repeating a chorus until it's pounded into your consciousness begging for sweet mercy." Aw yeah.

Keep your eyes peeled here, because we should have some NEW CD package design work coming up very soon! A legitimate band even...go figure!
