My dear friends in
Father & Son have just released a great new single, titled "Crazy 88." The first time I heard this song live at the Charleston in Brooklyn, it honestly blew me away. Thankfully, the studio recording captures the magic of the live rendition.

For the cover art they commissioned me to do, the only direction I was given was "POWER." Keeping that in mind, I absolutely wanted to convey the aggressive nature of the song in some fashion. I also took inspiration from the forthcoming music video, directed by another dear friend: the super-talented
Jon Conklin - the goal being continuity between Jon's clip and my still image. While I borrowed the color palette from the video, I aimed to give my cover a voice of its own - hopefully through the torn+textured paper theme, the handwritten typography, and the portraits of the band members. Hope you like it!
