JOSEPH ALBUM ART
I worked on this album art toward the end of 2013, it's now up on itunes for your aural pleasure. Matthew 'Joseph' Gabel wrote/produced this studio album "Tennessee Ghosts" throughout 2013 from his Beijing garden shed laboratory. It's fantastic. To my ears, dreamy soundscape, lyrical optimism, nostalgia and a good dose of indy americana. There's a seamless fusing of pure instrumentalism with a light sprinkling of more digital elements.
The artwork therefore needed to capture something 'flighty' and dreamy but also hold on to some of the rust-belt origins that inspired much of the overall vibe that's described in the lyrics. I think it has impact, but also sells the warmth and imagery of the songs. See the rest of the digital booklet.
