Cover Art

Rob Sheridan posted info about his design process to his Instagram account[1]:

This artwork was meant to be reminiscent of the With Teeth cover, but quiet and sparse, just a fragile line of text rather than a large logo, to feel desolate and empty. As this was the final With Teeth single, by this time in 2006 I had moved on from my original scanner glitch creations that were used throughout the With Teeth artwork and I had just finished making a second wave of tour posters (for fall/winter ‘05) that incorporated slightly more photographic imagery glitched with a harsh digital style (the “teeth,” we often called these glitches) through my manual With Teeth glitching process (I offer a full tutorial on this with Photoshop templates on my Patreon - link in bio). So I brought that style and process into this cover art as a natural evolution of previous With Teeth work, glitching a photo taken by @jmaxwelliv at a lake bed outside Los Angeles. With the last bit of sunlight disappearing over the horizon, the tracks in the dirt seem to be turning around, as if they won’t reach the next day, instead going back in a circle to start it all over again.
