_what
artwork for the singles off of big black delta's debut LP, BBDLP1
_how
after signing to nerve management, big black delta have been set to release a series of singles both on vinyl and digitally. challenged with a way of making these releases unusual in some way, given some of the songs have been out for a while, we suggested that perhaps each release's artwork tesselate with the next. this way all the singles can form a larger image once they've all been collected. at the time of writing two releases have been put out, IFUCKINGLOVEYOU and betamax, which you can see here.

_what
EP artwork + music video for the LA-based band, big black delta
_how
jonathan bates, better known for his part in the band mellowdrone, recently got back in touch with us regarding a "new thing" he was working on. he was calling the project big black delta and he asked that caspar might come on board as its art director.

soon caspar found himself watching the thundercats intro over and over and obsessing with jon over UFO footage. after this came a rapid exchange of music for artwork, much the way a choir does their psalms and responses. late one night caspar arrived at the EP cover you see here and sent it to jon. jon loved it and big black delta had finally been born.

caspar then shot and edited a short film to accompany the release of the song IFUCKINGLOVEYOU. it was filmed over a couple of days around independence day in los angeles. the timing seemed fitting UFO-wise, and the idea was simply to capture everything he and jon got up to in the short time they had together, be that searching the night sky for flashing lights, watching dan akroyd talking about UFOs on youtube or witnessing jon make strange noises on his studio floor.
