another Kid Sister Everything release with mind-blowingly awesome package design. i can honestly say that i have never come across a tape adorned with so much thoughtful custom design work build around it. this Animal Lover cassette comes all wrapped up in a giant folded poster that houses the cassette in lieu of a traditional cover. abstract cover art, abstracted from an abstract poster. i like it....
here is a back view while it's still all packaged up. i love the nice pop of red you get on either side of the folded poster when you are looking at the cassette front on...
underneath the folded poster is a dust sleeve for the cassette, black and white ink screen printed on a red cover stock and then cut down and glued closed. really awesome idea, and the quality is impeccable....
slide it off the top and there you finally have the actual cassette. solid white plastic cassette with a red print on both sides, most likely done during the manufacturing. the modest approach to printing on the cassette itself is like a breath of fresh air once you finish undressing it from all the loud contrasting art. go ahead, clean your palette ...
alright, now the moment you've all been waiting for.... here is the poster unfolded. this was an 11" x 17" photocopy that was then cut down a bit to remove the white border from the photocopier. fuck, this thing is awesome. all this "digital geo" art they were playing with is fucking brilliant, and it looks even better when you can visually process it along with the handwritten typography....
on the flipside is all art... beautiful, beautiful art. this mash up of sharpie drawings and photocopied geometrics is blowing my mind, in the best way imaginable. there are some really great things happening in the background here with positive and negative spaces that develop thru all the photocopying and layering....
be sure to visit the Kid Sister Everything site and support this awesome label!
