Cover Art for the new Knights of Infinite Resignation single
Recording is complete, mixing is nearly finished, and artwork is underway for the new Knights of Infinite Resignation single, "Paris Hilton & Captain Beefheart." The cover:
Pretty tight, huh? Graphic design inspiration came directly from three sources:
- The infamous Paris Hilton/Captain Beefheart photo
- The album cover for Sonic Youth's Washing Machine
- A certain early '90's Upper Deck baseball card of a player that no one seems to remember (through the miracle of technology, the picture on the front of the card was of the guy holding the very card -- if we ever find it, we'll let you know)
Lee said that he's psyched that we found what he calls "the Silver Jews font."
We've set July 24 as the release date, so the single will come out just in time for all you bar exam takers out there to treat yourselves after spilling your legal guts for two or three days. Hopefully we'll be able to sync the online release and physical CD release -- we'll see.
Speaking of the formats, we've decided that we're only going to make the two original tracks available online, and so the suprise cover song will only be found on the CD version.
