The second release

The second release, Moderate Studio journal, 2014

The second MTK release, a concept record by Raikes Parade, out on vinyl in a sleeve I designed. A kaleidoscope of geometric rays in pink, yellow and blue folded around a plain black twelve-inch, the pattern doing the job a picture disc might, all on the outside.

A small label putting out a handful of records is mostly an excuse to make the artwork, and this was the one where the sleeve mattered as much as the music. A record you would keep out on the shelf face-forward, for the cover as much as the sound.
