Nightgaun - Absurdity of Meaning ep...

got a cool submission from an arizona band called NIGHTGAUN.... the cover art is credited to Mykil Zep, who made a cool and humorous black and white illustration that fits well with the "Absurdity of Meaning" theme. the type gets a little lost in the line work of the illustration, but i'm pretty sure those were added in after the fact by someone else. that said, i can't help but feel as though this cover would have been so much stronger if he had worked up a nice bold typeface for this cover as well...


the back cover panel and insert art is credited to their guitar player "SBG", he has a much looser illustration style which is kind of charming its own way. it actually kind of reminds me of what every 7th grader's notebook cover looks like after they get into punk. the scratchy hand written song titles really send this thing home...


these covers are professionally offset printed on a coated paper and folded, not glued. unfold the cover for the printed insert inside. man, writing out all these lyrics must have taken some time, but it was totally worth it, cause these two panels look awesome....


check out this grayish-blue marble vinyl! that's pretty rad.... the A and B labels are total type drivers which always feels like a bit of a throw away to me, but at lease they are consistent to the rest of the writing in the insert...



this is a Primitive Future Records release, if anyone has contact info please post it in the comments section....
