I was delighted to be asked by Galway-based garage pop band Dott to design the cover for their debut album Swoon, out on US label Graveface Records on the 4th December. They are currently embarked on a launch tour of Ireland and will be playing dates in the States in the new year, including the SXSW festival. There was a feature in last week’s Galway Advertiser newspaper about the album ahead of their gig in the Roisin Dubh last Saturday, with a nice mention about my involvement with the band in the making of the artwork and previous work. You can read the interview by Kernan Andrews :here:.
The artwork is based on a piece I made last year called “Steppenwolf” for an exhibition in Ballina Arts Centre. Lead singer Anna liked it and commissioned a new piece, where instead of myself, I have her wearing the wolf mask. This is my first sleeve design for a vinyl record and I’m very pleased with the result.
The record will be in independent record shops in Ireland and the US from December and it can also be ordered directly from Graveface Records.
