New artwork for High Above The Storm

Just finished some graphic work for London-based band High Above The Storm. Former Rothko, Geiger Counter and Foe bassist Crawford Blair got in touch a while back about doing some artwork for a band he is now in called The Slow Life which led to a thoroughly enjoyable project based around the mystery of Number Stations and an album sleeve for them (not to mention a lot of research photos of deer). That one is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sumlin/2566887811/

When Crawford's other band High Above The Storm needed an album sleeve they kindly asked me to have a go. They provided me with a photo by Hugo Poon and some examples of the type of minimal-but-yet-not-dull graphic design work that they thought would suit their music - things like Arvo Part, The God Machine, some Fabric compilations and more. It's been a while since I've done a purely layout and text based project (with no illustrations) but it was a lot of fun. Here's the end results as they head off for print this week:
