Hair! Blood!

Another Hair release, another X~Ray sleeve. The title cut finds the boys in a melancholic mood, with lines about 'spilling blood in the wrong place...' The artwork ties in with the album look.

Print stats, four colour offset litho onto coated stock.

The Hair Turning Japanese

These Leeds based youngsters have gone and recorded a full length CD! X~Ray Vision worked closely with Neil Clark, the bands keyboard player, to create this photomotage. I pushed for a colour scheme that included a silver litho, this enhances the shiny, disco element of the music. I guess you could say The Hair are West Yorkshire's answer to The Rapture, what with funk filled bass lines, jerky guitar spits and the odd clonk of a cowbell.

This is a Japanese only release on the Kurofune Records label. More info can be found on the bands website.

The Japanese have gone all out on the marketing, with in store displays in Tower Records! I guess this is my most polished and fancy shmancy work to date!

The Hair Get X-Rayed!

Here's a fun and quick little job for indie-dance-rock urchins The Hair. This project was a to supply a stencil for this limited release on the Louder Than Bombs records.
Each sleeve was hand sprayed by the band using various stencil designs. Two colours.

My contribution keys into the rave ethos, hand(s) aloft with an electric, pill induced charge shooting up the main vein! Yeah I'm talking nonsense. Find out more about the band here!
