_what
record sleeve for the nashville-based band, the protomen.
_how
the protomen, quite apart from their original music output, are a band that produces cover songs par excellence. this is not least because they choose songs that almost entirely echo the narrative they deliver in their ongoing series of rock operas.

the cover up is likely just the first in a series of exceptionally well recorded collections of cover songs from the band. needless to say it was our job to create artwork for the record that deliberately wove it into the protomen's overall narrative arc. this included nothing less than asking friends to voice characters in the various "movie scenes" dotted throughout the recording.

the idea here was to make a movie soundtrack to a film that was made and exists within the protomen's ongoing story. in doing so we asked john delucca that he might once again bless us with his exceptional drawning and painting talents. caspar and commander then sewed everything together to make a vinyl record release we're very proud of.

we hope you enjoy the work.
